Rethinking Rubbish

We want your views on how we should deal with the growing amount of waste that we all produce in Gloucestershire. Should we be doing more to reduce packaging? Should we recycle more? What do you think about councils collecting food waste for composting? These are some of the issues that the Gloucestershire Waste Partnership (GWP) wants to hear from you about.

The GWP, a partnership of all the Gloucestershire local authorities, has issued a draft waste management strategy for public consultation. The strategy sets out our approach for dealing with the counties waste through to 2020. Its main objective is to drastically reduce the amount of waste buried in landfills.

We can achieve this by recycling and composting more, but we’ll also have to build new waste treatment plants.

Tell us what you think

The consultation will run until 22 January 2007. To find out more about our plans and to complete our survey please use the links on the left of this page. By taking part in our survey you could also win a £50 gift voucher for Over Farm market, Gloucester!
