Sustainable waste management policy aim

The key aim of this policy is to achieve sustainable waste management. Consequently, there is a need to ensure that as far as possible all waste management facilities are developed to the highest standards so that waste can be dealt with in a way which minimises impacts on the environment. In addition, the development of modern facilities can help bring environmental benefits by encouraging more sustainable waste management practices. In considering proposals for new, or extensions to existing, waste management facilities the council will ensure adequate protection and conservation of the environment, whilst providing for the waste needs of the city.
