Household Waste and Recycling Centre Permitting Scheme

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To consider the report of Service Lead - City Services seeking a decision to introduce a permit scheme for the use of the Household Waste and Recycling Centre

Decision:

1.  Not impose a £5 per visit charge for the use of the HWRC at City Depot for non-Hampshire residents wanting to use this site, and does not require Southampton residents to register to use the City Depot HWRC.

 

2.  To note the continued support for the provision of a waste permit for vans and trailers, recognising that HCC are now charging an annual fee of £15 per trailer for new permits.

 

3.  To endorse SCC’s continued support for HCC’s communications plan, to ensure residents are informed about the new scheme, charges and online registration scheme, if they wish to use HWRC’s in Hampshire, as an alternative to the site at City Depot, Southampton.

Reasons for the decision:

1.  To respond to the changes HCC are putting in place relating to HWRC usage across Hampshire, and that these can be communicated to residents.

 

2.  To ensure that residents of Southampton can continue to use the HWRC at City Depot, Southampton free of charge and without any additional administrative burden.

 

3.  To ensure that the admin charge to be levied by HCC for the existing permit scheme administered by HCC for vans and trailers used to transport domestic waste to HWRCs is noted.

Alternative options considered:

Imposition of a £5 per visit charge for the use of the HWRC at City Depot for non-Hampshire residents wanting to use this site.
