Issue details

The Environment Committee resolved on 19th May 2022 to retain, for the time being, a weekly residual service from black sacks until such time that the Government mandates food waste collections to all households. In view of this West Sussex County Council (WSCC) through the Joint Project Board, questioned the added value of continuing the 1-2-3 collections in the trial area. WSCC concluded that continuing the collections in the trial area would not represent the best use of their Recycling Improvement Fund. This report proposes an exit strategy for early closure of the 1-2-3 collection scheme.
