To consider the approval of the Joint Municipal Waste Management Strategy.

Resolved:

1.  That the refreshed Joint Municipal Waste Management Strategy as annexed to the report be approved.

2.  That the action plan, contained within the Joint Municipal Waste Management Strategy, be approved.

3.  That the commitment to move to a twin stream collection system for dry recyclables in the future as detailed in section 2.12 of the report be noted.

Consideration was given to a report of the Environmental Portfolio Holder which set out the refreshed Joint Municipal Waste Management Strategy and action plan, which was designed to respond to the imminent changes to legislation that will determine how household waste is collected.

Hampshire’s local authorities had worked collaboratively, through the Project Integra partnership, to develop the refreshed Strategy which set clear strategic direction and provided Hampshire County Council the clear mandate they require to make the significant investment to the infrastructure, which will enable future changes to waste collection.

Having considered the options and for the reasons set out in the report, Cabinet agreed the following:

Resolved:

1.  That the refreshed Joint Municipal Waste Management Strategy as annexed to the report be approved.

2.  That the action plan, contained within the Joint Municipal Waste Management Strategy, be approved.

3.  That the commitment to move to a twin stream collection system for dry recyclables in the future as detailed in section 2.12 of the report be noted.
