Joint Municipal Waste Management Strategy

In November 2006 the Gloucestershire Waste Partnership published its first draft Joint Municipal Waste Management Strategy. This strategy explains how the seven County and District Councils aim to manage waste in Gloucestershire up to 2020. The main objectives are based upon a hierarchy of preferred approaches, focussing on waste reduction, recycling and composting more, and treating the remaining waste in a sustainable way. The strategy outlines how this will be achieved by working together in partnership between ourselves and with others.

This strategy is now being considered for adoption by each of the partner authorities in Gloucestershire. This process will be complete by the end of 2007. To reach this stage, two rounds of public consultation have been undertaken. Click here to read a summary of the first public consultation which was undertaken between November 2006 and January 2007.
