Domestic Waste: Waste Disposal

Asked by Tim RocaLabourDepartment for Environment, Food and Rural AffairsTabled Answered 18 November 2024UIN 13722

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will make two weeks the maximum time between bin collections.

Answered by Mary Creagh

Simpler Recycling will mean that people across England will be able to recycle the same materials at home, work or school, ending the confusion over what can or cannot be recycled in different parts of the country.

Ministers are currently reviewing final Simpler Recycling policy decisions, including guidance on the approach to collections, and we hope to provide further certainty and clarity to stakeholders as soon as possible.
