Resource and Waste Management Strategy

11/02/2021 - Resource and Waste Management Strategy

The Committee considered a report by the Chief Executive (circulated previously) regarding the Resource and Waste Management Strategy for Devon and Torbay.

 

The Chief Executive highlighted the following:

 

·       Devon County Council had approved the Resource and Waste Management Strategy for Devon and Torbay and had requested that District Councils adopt the strategy.

·       The key targets in the Resource & Waste Management Strategy for Devon and Torbay were detailed in paragraphs 4.3 to 4.6 of the report.

·       This strategy also linked into the Council’s Litter Strategy, was the blue print for the Waste and Recycling service and linked into the Council’s environmental objectives.

 

RESOLVED:

 

(a) that the Resource and Waste Management Strategy be approved;

 

(b) that Devon County Council be asked to look again at the reduction in the prices paid to local communities for green waste in order to encourage local community composting groups.
