Question to the Cabinet Member for Climate Change and Biodiversity : 2024/39 - Fly Tipping Minutes:
Councillor Forsey responded:
Newport's 2022 waste composition analysis highlights high recycling rates for plastics, glass, and cardboard, with less than 2% of paper/cardboard and less than 0.5% of recyclable plastics and glass found in residual waste. In addition, fly tipped waste can vary but is commonly either bulky items or mixed waste coming from households not participating in the recycling scheme.
The HWRC permit scheme is efficient, with easy booking and adequate access, including same-day appointments available. Current provision and accessibility are considered adequate, and no changes to HWRC access are needed.
Any consideration for a trial of pop-up recycling points would require prior assessment to determine viability and costs. Lliswerry ward is not the highest offending area for waste issues. |
