Issue - meetings

A report seeking consideration and approval to amend part of the Trade Waste Policy for Kirklees Council following a recent review on organisations currently receiving free waste collection services.

Officer: Will Acornley 01484 221000

1) That standard trade waste rates be charged to all Third Sector organisations, excluding disposal costs (as per statutory requirements).

2) That a budget of £30,000 be allocated to meet the costs for vulnerable organisations, and that authority be delegated to the Head of Environment and Greenspace to amend the mechanism for identifying vulnerable organisations and delivering the budget to match any future strategy or policy for supporting the third sector as decided by the Cabinet.

3) That third sector organisations no longer be allowed to deliver waste to Waste Transfer Station sites under the Council’s waste disposal contract and that any waste delivered to these sites be through a private arrangement between the organisation and the Council’s contractor.
