Cabinet to consider changes to Waste and Recycling container charges

On 17^th November, Denbighshire County Council’s Cabinet will discuss a proposal to change its policy on waste and recycling containers.  The proposal includes:

• Allowing all residents to collect free replacements for blue cardboard bags and orange food caddies from selected locations (initially Household Waste Recycling Centres); and
• Allowing households on the Council Tax Reduction Scheme to order one free recycling container per year.  This applies to any recycling container, not just blue cardboard bags and orange food caddies. 

Cllr James Elson, Lead Member for Environment and Transport said: “I have heard residents’ concerns about the blue cardboard recycling bags, and I recognise their frustration when they are charged for a replacement bags.  I know that people across Denbighshire want to support our county’s recycling efforts, so I want to help them by looking at practical options that make it easier and cheaper for households to keep doing their bit."
