Figure 17 - Location of recycling facilities in the <strong>Borough</strong><br />

9.7 The <strong>Council</strong> changed its recycling and rubbish collection routine in October 2012.<br />

Residents in the <strong>Borough</strong> have their refuse collected fortnightly and their recycling on<br />

the alternate fortnights (co-mingled waste). Food waste bins are collected weekly.<br />

Residents can be provided with green waste bins and/or bags but this is a chargeable<br />

service. Green waste is collected fortnightly.<br />

9.8 In terms of capacity of existing facilities, there are no capacity issues at either the Lyne<br />

Lane Community Recycling Centre or at the local recycling facilities in the <strong>Borough</strong>.<br />

Surrey Waste Partnership’s ‘A plan for waste management’ (September 2010) noted at<br />

the time of writing of the report, however, that there were insufficient facilities in Surrey<br />

to treat all of the collected green waste that was potentially available from the Districts,<br />

and there were no facilities which could accept food waste in the County.<br />

Local <strong>Plan</strong><br />

9.9 It is estimated that over the plan period 2011-2026, that significant new residential units<br />

will be provided across the <strong>Borough</strong> within the general locations shown in Table 4. It is<br />

considered reasonable to assume that the increase in residents that will accompany<br />

this new development (as well as that generated from growth across the London Fringe<br />

area generally) will put extra pressure on the waste management facilities in the<br />

<strong>Borough</strong> and surrounding area. In line with the recommendations of the Surrey Waste<br />

<strong>Plan</strong> therefore, further facilities are likely to be required to support growth.<br />

9.10 Strategic Policy 01 is concerned with Green Belt areas in the <strong>Borough</strong>. Any waste<br />

management facilities proposed in the Green Belt will need to be carefully considered<br />

as this policy promotes the strict protection of the Green Belt. This ties in with policy<br />

CW6 of the Surrey Waste Management <strong>Plan</strong> which also states that there will be a<br />

presumption against inappropriate waste related development in the Green Belt except<br />
