● achieving a household recycling rate of 35% by 2010 and 45% by 2015; and ● achieving the 2010 Landfill Directive target. Implications of failure to make progress ● ● ● ● waste will continue to grow, meaning costs will rise and the inevitable transition to a more sustainable waste management system will cost more; EU fines of £180m could be levied; more landfill sites and incinerators will be needed; and the UK will face more waste crises, as occurred with fridges, due to its slow progress in developing alternative waste management options. This could transfer the costs of managing commercial wastes to local authorities. Overall responsibility for this report 9.4 The Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs should be the Ministerial Champion for the strategy and measures in this report. In the short term, however, a Ministerial Group reporting jointly to the Secretary of State and the Chief Secretary to the Treasury should develop the public expenditure programmes and institutional arrangements needed to implement the report’s recommendations. SUMMARY OF KEY RECOMMENDATIONS AND ACTION PLAN 115
WASTE NOT, WANT NOT Summary of key recommendations and action plan It is mainly the role of DEFRA to take forward and monitor the recommendations of this strategy. The table below summarises these actions and lists the other lead departments/organisations who would need to be involved in taking them forward. Where appropriate, the recommendations will need to be subject to a Regulatory Impact Assessment. Key (w) = recommendations that may impact on the better management of wider wastes in addition to municipal waste * = recommendations likely to have a significant impact on the waste management of the Devolved Administrations Recommendation Benefits/Risks Action to By when Lead dept/ Others Measuring be taken organisation involved progress Chapter 6 – Economic and regulatory framework Recommendation 1: Local authorities that wish to take forward household incentive schemes to help reduce waste volumes and increase recycling should be allowed to do so. Schemes could include: Council tax discounts for households that home compost. Rewards/prizes for homes that recycle. Variable charging schemes to reduce Council Tax – those who reduce waste and recycle pay less. Benefits: It rewards those households who reduce and recycle waste. It reduces costs, boosts recycling and therefore the number of extra landfill sites, incinerators and other facilities required. It allows households to reduce their bills. Factors for LAs to consider when taking up incentive schemes: – need composting/ recycling infrastructure in place; – needs to be accompanied by education and safety net for low income families; – ideally conduct pilots first. LAs to take up and try schemes. As LAs wish but starting now. DEFRA/ ODPM/LGA LAs/WRAP (i) 30% of collection authorities to have tried incentive based schemes by 2006. (ii) Reduction in rate of household waste growth to 2% per annum by 2006. 116
