Our Waste Management Strategy, adopted after extensive public consultation in 2002, aims to increase the amount of waste recycled and composted and provide new waste treatment facilities for the waste which is not, or cannot, be recycled. We are now in the process of implementing this strategy.

We are working with our District Council partners on various waste reduction and reuse campaigns as well as trying to increase the amount we recycle.

We are also implementing a project to deliver new waste treatment facilities through a long-term Private Finance Initiative (PFI) contract with a private sector waste management partner – Donarbon Waste Management Limited. The Government is supporting this project with £35m to help meet the cost of these new facilities.
