Plans to cut the amount of rubbish thrown away in Shropshire could save the county council up to £1 million per year.unveiled a new “waste minimisation” plan earlier this year with the aim of cutting household waste by 20 per cent between now and 2030, against a backdrop of increasing waste management costs due to housing growth and inflation.
In the strategy, the authority says the majority of the waste reduction will come from reducing garden and food waste – but reducing the amount of “residual waste”, or black bin rubbish, by around 25 per cent could generate savings and income of up to £1m by freeing up capacity at However it adds: “It is noted that such a saving will likely be obscured by annual rises in the waste contract value due to indexation and increases due to housing growth.”
And while in Shropshire recycling rates are consistently high, the county is in the top twenty local authorities for total waste per household according to the most recent data.
