To approve the revised recommendations of the Recycling Review of Source Separated and Co-Mingled Collection Methods in Haringey.

The Committee received the report on Recycling – Source Separated and Co-mingled Collection methods in Haringey, which detailed modified recommendations of the Recycling Review as a result of expenditure issues.

RESOLVED

i.      That that the Council commission a report on commingled and source separation collection methods, including separate glass and paper            collection, as part of the procurement process for the new Waste Services Contract. The report should consider the costs and benefits, environmental impacts and carbon dioxide emissions of both collection systems. The report should be creative in its approach and explore and provide options that could reduce the need for additional vehicles and staff.

ii.         That a report is produced on the impact of the North London Waste Authority’s procurement process on Haringey, with regard to co-mingled and source separated collection methods.  The report should include analysis of the impact of a crash in the recyclate markets owing to the global economic crisis.
