Climate change strategy - further information

We will ensure we waste less as a borough and stop dependence on single use plastic.

We will:

• Minimise the use of single use plastic across the council
• Promote waste and plastic reduction through the council’s event programme 
• Encourage food businesses to move to plastic free
• Promote the delivery of a circular economy through encouraging upcycling, re-sale, reuse and recycling of goods rather than landfill
• Implement changes to waste and recycling collections to meet the 2021 Environment Bill requirements, for example, weekly food waste collections
