Decision details

For the Leader of the Council to authorise, during the Covid-19 pandemic:

The temporary suspension of bulky waste and glass collections services from 31 March 2020 to ensure sufficient resource is available to maintain other waste collection services.

To ensure resource can be focused on maintaining priority waste collections during the Covid-19 pandemic.

An alternative option is for operations to continue as at present, however, as the pandemic continues, the current service will not be sustainable. Taking these measures now will enable crews to continue to provide a household waste collection service, which as a waste collection authority we must ensure, as far as possible we continue to provide.
