Consultation description
We want to know what you think of our plans to increase the consistency in materials collected for recycling from households, businesses and other organisations in England. Increasing consistency in recycling will reduce confusion in the materials that can be collected for recycling at kerbside. This will help to make sure that less waste goes to landfill and more is recycled.
We want to know what you think about:
- materials to be collected as part of the dry recyclable waste streams
- provisions for food and garden waste collections
- possible exemptions from the requirements set out in the consultation
- topics to be included in statutory guidance for local authorities
- transition timelines for local authorities and businesses
