Consultation on ‘Recycle on the Go’
This consultation paper is issued by DEFRA, in association with Encams and Recycle Now. It proposes a voluntary code of practice and an associated good practice guide which are intended to help stimulate the provision of recycling bins in public places, and to facilitate good practice.
The measures contained in the consultation paper apply to England, and are voluntary. The paper is principally concerned with how litter is collected for disposal or recycling in places that the public have access. The consultation underpins a commitment to public place recycling made in the Waste Strategy for England 2007.
The consultation paper seeks views on the proposed voluntary code of practice and the associated good practice guide. It is aimed primarily at local authorities and waste receptacle manufacturers.
The consultation closes on Friday, 2 November 2007. Further details are available from the DEFRA website at: http://www.defra.gov.uk/corporate/consult/recyclebins/index.htm
