Decision Notice D160030CAB

The report of the Director of Street Scene, Leisure and Technical Services gave details of the current arrangements for collecting fridges/freezers and provided a comparison with neighbouring authorities.  In accordance with Decision No D160015CAB, consideration was given to proposals for introducing charges following a review of concessions for fridges/freezers and bulky household waste collections.  It was noted that overall savings arising from the introduction of the proposed charges were estimated at around £40,000 per annum.  Members were assured that fly tipping would continue to be monitored closely and kept under review.

RECOMMENDED:  That the charges outlined in paragraph 1.4.3 of the report be introduced with effect from 1 April 2016 and future charges and service requests be kept under review.
