and Controls at Household Waste Recycling<br />

Centres<br />

Purpose: To advise the <strong>Executive</strong> of the Impact of Charges for<br />

Waste Recycling Centres.<br />

Recommendation: That the <strong>Executive</strong> notes the outcomes to date<br />

following the introduction of charges for the special<br />

uplift service and controls at HWRCs and the<br />

approach taken to minimise fly-tipping.<br />

1. Introduction<br />

1.1 At its Special meeting on 1st February 2012, <strong>Council</strong> requested that a<br />

report be presented to a future meeting of the <strong>Executive</strong> setting out<br />

the impact of the charging policy for Special Uplifts and<br />

implementation of control measures at Household Waste Recycling<br />

Centres (HWRCs) upon fly-tipping within the area.<br />

2. Current Position<br />

2.1 The revised operating model and charging structure for the Special<br />

Uplift service was introduced on the 1 April 2010. The new policy<br />

sought to encourage residents to adopt more sustainable methods of<br />

waste management, where prevention is the most environmentally<br />

effective solution and disposal the least, in line with the principles of<br />

the waste hierarchy.<br />
