efficiency plans relate to the procurement of re-processing arrangements for<br />

dry recyclables, the integration of glass within the blue bin collection service,<br />

The revenue budget makes provision of an additional £1,069,000 to support<br />

the introduction of food waste collections during 2012 to 2014 and £672,000<br />

for increases in landfill taxation during the three year period 2012 to 2015.<br />

The capital budget for the period 2012 to 2016 includes £350,000 for the redevelopment<br />

of the Largs HWRC and £3.15m for the continued development<br />

of waste disposal operations at Shewalton landfill site.<br />

The delivery of further initiatives to meet international and national obligations<br />

will require additional investment. It will be necessary for the service to<br />

explore opportunities for grant funding and explore and develop innovative<br />

ways within which to deliver the service to meet these obligations.<br />

2.4.7 Lifespan of Shewalton Landfill Site<br />

The <strong>Council</strong> disposes of residual waste at the Shewalton landfill site. The site<br />

is operated in line with the Pollution, Prevention and Control regulatory regime<br />

enforced by SEPA. In order to comply with this regime there is a need to<br />

continue investment within the site particularly in respect of gas management<br />

and energy recovery, leachate management and the capping of cells as they<br />

become full. It will also be necessary to construct new cells to receive waste,<br />

subject to these works the site is anticipated to reach capacity by 2016/17.<br />
