Brighton & Hove City Council proposed adding 54 carton recycling containers and 21 WEEE containers across recycling points in the city. The expansion aims to increase recycling, reduce contamination and divert waste from the Energy Recovery Facility, with a review planned after the new WEEE containers have been in place for several months.

Recommendation

Approve the rollout of 54 additional carton recycling containers and 21 new WEEE containers across recycling points in the city.

Financial impact

Purchase costs for 54 carton recycling containers and 21 WEEE containers will be contained within existing capital budgets funded from the Carbon Neutral Fund. Ongoing costs are estimated at £0.019m per annum for the carton containers and £0.004m per annum for the WEEE containers, totalling £0.023m per annum and funded from the existing Waste PFI budget.
