The Cabinet Member:  

 

1.     Approved the implementation of a charging mechanism whereby occupiers of homes across the city are required to pay for the costs associatedwith replacement waste bins and receptacles to include residual, recycling, garden and food waste bins.

Reasons for the decision:

Costs incurred by the council due to requests for new and replacement bins continue to increase and it is no longer considered to be sustainable to offer these free of charge.
