      Council expenditure on waste management

      Requested Fri 19 June 2020
      Responded Wed 26 August 2020

      *NOTE: 'Budget' below means the council's entire annual budget. Should it not be possible to provide such information within the cost limits of the Act then it would be acceptable to receive information just on the portion of the waste budget. Or indeed vice versa should the opposite be the case.

      *NOTE: I require information for the previous last two financial years. However, should it not be possible to provide such information within the cost limits of the Act then it would be acceptable to receive information just on the last financial year.

      Could you tell me:

      1. How much your council spends on the collection, disposal and minimisation of recyclable waste per year.

      What portion of your budget is this expenditure?

      2. How much your council spends on the collection, disposal and minimisation of non-recyclable waste - through landfill, incineration or other - per year?

      What portion of your annual budget is this expenditure?

      3. How much your council spends on recycling waste per year.

      What portion of your annual budget is this expenditure?

      4. What are your council's annual climate change objectives?

      Is your waste management practice linked to these objectives?

      Could you briefly outline how?

      5. Do you use a private operator for the collection, disposal and minimisation of waste (recyclable or non-recyclable)?

      What is the name of the operator?

      What portion of the recyclable or non-recyclable waste do they collect, dispose of or minimise?
