Decision details

A report that provided the Committee with a high level analysis of the impact of the upcoming national ban on the disposable of Biodegradable Municipal Waste at landfill was before the Committee for noting.  The report also updated the Committee on the results of the joint procurement of the residual waste disposal contract with Argyll and Bute, West Dunbartonshire and Inverclyde Councils.  The report also contained details on the proposed testing of the in-vessel composting process in the Waste PPP area.
