Decision details

The Committee considered a report which explained that Argyll and Bute Council is both a waste collection and waste disposal authority with some recycling collections carried out by third sector groups.  With respect to recording statistics Members noted that recycling, composting and recovery (i.e. other landfill diversion) are reported quarterly within the council’s performance system Pyramid and statutory returns to SEPA such as licensed site tonnage, landfill tax and waste data flow vary.

Decision

The Oban, Lorn and the Isles Area Committee noted the details outlined within the report and the national policy drivers that would likely impact over the next few years.
