Reducing borough-wide waste

Recycling Initiatives

There are several ongoing initiatives related to recycling being undertaken by the Council, including a dedicated communal collection project, the introduction of more food waste bins in the Council’s own housing stock, and a pilot introduction of recycling bins within parks and on the high street. More information is avaible on our website.

Sustainable disposal of IT assets

In 2022, a new contract was put in place for the disposal of IT hardware and peripherals across the Council. Stone Group who are ISO:14001 accredited were appointed and their collection service includes the data erasure, disposal, and refurbishment of IT hardware, cabling and peripherals. Stone Ltd have been accredited by Valpak for its Zero landfill policy. The asset disposal solution will ensure that no hardware is sent to landfill. The Council will be rewarded for recycling its IT assets responsibility with Stone Ltd by planting trees in The National Forest as part of Stone’s ongoing commitment to a sustainable future.
