1) That Committee agrees an amendment to the model to allow bins/sacks to be left out overnight. This will be a medium-term adjustment and be subject to review in 12 to 18 months' time once businesses are familiar with the new arrangements. 2) That Committee delegates authority to the Executive Director – Economy, Environment & Culture to determine the parameters of this amendment, including the types of sacks to be permitted overnight e.g. vermin proof and an appropriate time from when bins/sacks can be left outside from the afternoon / early evening.
