Draft Recycling Strategy 2025-2030
Members made eight recommendations on the draft strategy. They asked for an easy-read version for the public, and for the heading 'Our challenges' to be changed to 'Our context'. They asked officers to review how often each key performance indicator (KPI, a measure of performance) is checked. They asked for regular public reminders on what goes in each bin, and a visual guide for public events. They asked officers to explore a charter in place of the social contract, with timescales for replies to businesses. They asked for a trial to reduce the cost of bulky waste collections, and for support for repair cafés through Torfaen Business Direct. Members agreed with the direction of travel of the draft strategy.
