Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
To review waste collection service charges across commercial, bulky, and garden waste in line with the council’s full cost recovery policy.
Decision:
That:
a) The waste service charges are updated in line with full cost recovery as set out in Appendix 1;
b) new charges are introduced for amendments and cancellations to booked bulky waste services and for provision of Duty of Care documents to commercial customers as set out in Appendix 1;
c) a new chargeable service is introduced for bulky waste collections for commercial waste as set out in Appendix 1;
d) the operation of the parish freighter service is ceased; and
e) authority is delegated to the Assistant Director for Regulatory, Environment and Waste to take all operational decisions for waste management including to approve future changes to charges across the waste management service.
Alternative options considered:
1. Not to change the waste management service charges, but this is not recommended as would be in contradiction to the council’s charging principles.
2. Change all prices according to a fixed percentage but this would not accurately reflect the cost of providing the services therefore is not recommended.
