Plans to shake-up England’s household waste collections have been backed by UK waste management firm Biffa, but the company has urged the Government to work closely with it, and similar businesses, to ensure the correct recycling infrastructure is built.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) today committed to easier and more consistent recycling collections, under new plans to boost recycling and protect the environment, helping the country reach its target of eliminating all avoidable waste by 2050.
Under Defra proposals, the introduction of statutory guidance on new minimum service standards for recycling collections is to be considered. In the consultation, the Government will also set out plans to make recycling easier with a clear list of materials that all local authorities and waste firms must collect from homes and businesses, specifically plastics, paper and card, glass, metal and food waste, as well as garden waste for households.

The arrival of the pandemic changed many things in our daily lives, and the activities of those who volunteer their time to improve their communities have been deeply affected by the restrictions as the months go by.
Keep Kilkenny Beautiful (KKB) is one such group who have seen upheaval in their routine, at a time when it has perhaps never been more relevant. There has been a significant increase in waste and litter complaints in Kilkenny over the past year.
A HAMPSHIRE countryside charity is launching new weekly litter picks to help tackle the problem of litter in the roadside verges of Hampshire - and is seeking new volunteers. CPRE Hampshire is running the scheme with the support of local volunteers and green service provider Idverde, who provide a truck and driver to follow the litter pickers, as well as screening them from approaching traffic and generously loaning the equipment needed for the clean-up. John Lauwerys, a CPRE Hampshire trustee who is leading the initiative, said: CPRE has a long tradition of seeking to tackle the scourge of littering which has become an increasing problem over recent decades. Many parts of the countryside are disfigured by litter and fly tipping and this has grown worse since the covid pandemic.
