Leicestershire’s Resources and Waste Strategy 2022-2050 Consultation

The consultation closes on 25 April 2022

Leicestershire Waste Partnership which comprises Leicestershire County Council and the 7 District/Borough Councils is seeking views on the new ‘Resources and Waste Strategy for Leicestershire’ as part of a 12 week public consultation.

The strategy examines what happens to your recycling and waste and how this can help reduce climate change and save raw materials.

The strategy has 11 pledges that sit alongside the government’s proposed national changes to waste collections, in order to meet the 65% national recycling target by 2035.

The draft pledges include supporting and encouraging waste prevention; delivering reuse services; separate food waste collections; reducing waste sent to landfill to less than 5% by 2025.

Leicestershire County Council is seeking to engage and consult with a range of stakeholders in relation to this new strategy.

The draft Strategy, along with an online survey can be accessed here.
