Environment Food and Rural Affairs written question – answered at on 28 October 2002.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if she will list the local authorities that operate a door-step recycling scheme; and what plans she has to encourage more local authorities to take up this initiative.
holding answer
We are clear that there needs to be a significant increase in kerbside recycling. We have provided significant extra funds to local authorities through the standard spending assessment and a separate ring-fenced fund for recycling and waste minimisation. We are currently assessing the second tranche of bids for funding from that budget. The Prime Minister's Strategy Unit is currently reviewing waste strategy and its funding and is due to report shortly.
The following authorities reported that they undertook some form of kerbside recycling scheme in the 2000–01 Municipal Waste Management Survey:
