Adoption of Waste Strategy – Towards Zero Waste 2030 (WL)

The Council's original Zero Waste Strategy was adopted in July 2005 and although it has been revised and updated at intervals since, requires a full update.

The Towards Zero Waste 2030 strategy reflects the latest information available and provides an assessment of the key drivers for the period to 2030.

Adoption of the new strategy will focus on working with residents to maximise reducing waste, reuse and recycling, making our neighbourhoods cleaner and greener, and delivering objectives of the climate and nature emergency.

Consultation process

The Council's Voicebox 28 survey contained specific waste & litter questions, the results of which were considered as part of the development of the Strategy key themes.

Public consultation on the key themes was carried out on-line and directly with Parish Councils and key stakeholders for a six-week period in Spring 2020.

The key themes were presented and discussed at the Climate Emergency and Sustainability Policy Development and Scrutiny Panel on the 16th of March 2020.
