Meeting documents

RESOLVED that the Portfolio Holder:

i.       Receives the report

ii.      Approves the garden waste pricing structure for 2020/21, specifically:

a.     An annual charge of £38 per licensed bin or £38 per property for a sack collection.

b.     A £20 administration charge for a new brown bin.

c.     A £20 charge for seven rolls of 10 garden waste sacks if required

iii.    Approves the removal of the credit card style licence to be replaced with a bin sticker.

Garden waste collection is a non-statutory service funded through licence subscriptions and recycling credits.  North Yorkshire County Council has significantly reduced its financial support for the scheme through a reduction in the payment of recycling credits.  In order to protect the service and ensure its continued provision consideration must be given to increase the subscription (opt-in) charge to deliver a balanced budget.
