The amount of waste we
each produce has been rising each year as the number of people and
households across North Somerset continues to
increase.
This means we generate more and more waste each year with the
district one of the highest per person waste producers in the
UK.
New laws and tougher Government and European recycling targets mean
our waste costs will soar unless we change the way we collect and
treat our rubbish.
We need to improve our services as doing nothing will hit us
financially and environmentally in the years to come.
Therefore we have developed the
North Somerset Municipal Waste Strategy in order to achieve
these aims and goals.
We are part of the
West of England
Partnership which enables us to share ideas and develop joint
strategies for a range of social, economic and environmental
issues, including waste.
Please see the
rubbish or resource
website for more information relating to the joint waste
strategy.
