Draft Joint Sustainable Waste Management Strategy

FoReWoRD
Councillor Stephen Parnaby OBE Leader of East Riding of Yorkshire Council over the past five years the amount of waste generated is down, recycling and composting performances are up, and we have cut the amount sent to landfill. Without the enthusiasm of our residents, local businesses and other stakeholders, none of this would have been possible. We must now look ahead knowing that we face some challenges, the pressures on our budgets being just one. But there is much to be encouraged about and in this document we list the ways in which we will provide value for money services to manage waste through to 2020. in the review we outline eight aims which we see as being central to managing waste in the coming years, including putting it back to work through recycling initiatives. For this reason we are proposing a recycling and composting target of 65 per cent for east Riding. Your views are vital in helping us to ensure we provide the services you need and in the ways you want. We look forward to hearing from you.

Councillor Stephen Brady Leader of Hull City Council Waste affects all of us, as individuals, at home, at work and as organisations. it also poses challenges as to how we can manage it in ways which minimise environmental and economic impact. over the last five years, we have significantly cut the level of waste sent to landfill and notably increased the amount sent for recycling and composting. none of this would have been possible without the support and commitment of residents and businesses across our two authorities. We are now about to enter a new phase for the joint waste strategy and want to build on our achievements. We are looking at fresh thinking and new approaches to prevent and reduce waste. For our targets to be achievable, we need to know whether, as service users, they reflect your requirements. Consequently, we want to hear your views on the strategy and options outlined in this document to help us to finalise our future plans.

east Riding of Yorkshire Council and Hull City Council have a 20 year history of working together; the Joint Waste Strategy Review continues this partnership.

WHY Do We neeD A ReVieW?

For more than 20 years, east Riding of Yorkshire Council and Hull City Council have worked in partnership to manage waste across the area. the benefits of doing this include achieving economies of scale, meaning that, where possible we will combine our waste to obtain greater value for money by sharing facilities and contracts. this is even more important in an era of funding cuts which have affected us both. in 2005 we consulted with residents and stakeholders in developing the Joint Sustainable Waste Management Strategy, called target 45+. Since then, we have achieved many of the targets, such as waste prevention, reducing the use of landfill and increasing recycling. new Government policy has been introduced and there are also more waste treatment options available that could help the councils to divert more waste away from landfill. this review will allow us to take stock of all these factors and update the Strategy to meet the needs of managing waste across our area up to 2020.

Draft Joint Sustainable Waste Management Strategy

target 45+ is the Joint Sustainable Waste Management Strategy developed in partnership by east Riding of Yorkshire Council and Hull City Council.

BACKGRounD
target 45+ was agreed by both councils in 2006, setting out how we would manage all the waste collected from households, businesses and other areas of waste collection, such as street sweeping and gully cleaning. target 45+ set out the aims and targets for waste collection, recycling and disposal over a 15 year period from 2006-2020. the aims included: Dealing with waste in the most sustainable way Raising public awareness of the responsibility for waste ensuring the area is well served by an integrated network of waste management facilities Diverting biodegradable waste from landfill Providing leadership in dealing with the councils own internal waste Providing a quality sustainable waste management service which achieves value for money Providing services which meet the top 10 per cent performance in regional and national targets Working through both councils local strategic partnerships to achieve target 45+. the name of the Strategy, target 45+ came from the 45 per cent target for recycling and composting that we set based on consultation with residents and stakeholder groups. By 2011 we had exceeded that target.

the Joint Waste Strategy has resulted in a reduction of waste sent to landfill and significantly increased recycling and composting performance.

KeY ACHieVeMentS oVeR tHe PASt FiVe YeARS

Both councils achieved the national Waste Strategy for englands target of recycling and composting 40 per cent by 2010. this means we have significantly increased the amount of household waste sent for recycling and composting from 81,000 tonnes in 2006 at the start of our Strategy to 128,000 tonnes in 2011. this is an increase of 58 per cent. We have invested millions of pounds in new kerbside recycling collection schemes which has led to higher levels of resident participation. the new collection services are more user friendly and have been expanded to include kitchen and garden waste, glass, cardboard, cartons and an extensive range of plastics from households. in addition to the new collection services a range of initiatives have contributed to helping us achieve both our recycling targets and a 7 per cent reduction in the overall amount of waste produced. these initiatives include: 1. our network of household waste recycling sites (HWRS). these take more than twenty different materials for recycling. With this improved waste separation, over 80 per cent of all the waste taken to the sites is now recycled. 2. our provision of commercial waste and recycling collections. Businesses and schools across the area are now benefiting from council provided recycling collections, reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill. 3. over 70,000 home compost bins have been distributed to households. 4. the creation of local initiatives to raise public awareness of waste prevention, recycling and reuse, including: the creation of a local repair/reuse register to give household goods a new lease of life food waste prevention campaigns promotion of the mail preferencing service to reduce junk mail the development of web based information for residents and businesses. 5. the use of innovative technologies to recycle and compost difficult sorts of waste, such as gully waste and street sweepings. the impact of the global recession and improvements by the retail sector to reduce packaging have also led to a significant reduction in the amount of waste being created.

Draft Joint Sustainable Waste Management Strategy

the Draft Strategy has been updated to reflect Government policy and the environmental impact has been independently assessed.

GoVeRnMent GuiDAnCe
the management of waste is a challenge facing all councils. Providing facilities and services takes a big chunk out of every councils annual budget. in addition, we must also operate within laws and requirements. in June 2011 the Government published its review of waste policy and delivery in england. As part of that review it outlined a series of commitments councils are expected to take into account including the following: Work with businesses on a range of measures to prevent waste occurring wherever possible encourage councils to sign new Recycling and Waste Services Commitments, setting out the principles they will follow in delivering waste services to households and businesses Provide technical support to councils and businesses who want to see recycling-on-the-go schemes grow Scrap unfair bin fines and taxes while bringing in powers to deal with repeat fly-tipping offenders and genuine nuisance neighbours For full online details of the Governments position, visit: http://www.defra.gov.uk/publications/files/ pb13540-waste-policy-review110614.pdf in addition to the new national policy review, revision to Government guidance on the development of waste strategies recommends that councils undertake a Strategic environmental Assessment (SeA). to ensure that the councils follow this guidance the Draft Strategy has been subjected to a Sustainability Appraisal (SA). the SA process assesses the environmental, social and economic impact of the Strategy which exceeds Government recommendations. if you would like to comment on the Sustainability Appraisal, please refer to our joint website www.target45plus.org.uk.

By working together to reduce waste and manage waste effectively, we aim to deliver value for money for residents and minimise environmental impact.

VAlue FoR MoneY FoR CounCil tAxPAYeRS

Residents in east Riding and Hull pay for the collection, treatment and disposal of their waste through their council tax. it now costs the councils approximately 41m each year to manage the waste collected across the area. the increasing cost of landfill tax is a major issue the councils have to contend with. in 2011/12 the cost of landfill tax was 56 per tonne, which is on top of all the other costs for putting waste in landfill. By 2014 this tax will have risen to 80 a tonne. twenty years ago, when our two councils first began working together to deal with the waste collected across the area, the majority was taken to landfill. For environmental and cost reasons this is not acceptable. it is important that we view waste as a resource to be managed, moving rapidly away from viewing it as rubbish. the waste hierarchy is seen as the basis for good practice relating to waste management and is at the heart of the Draft Waste Strategy. it can be summarised as follows: Best of all is prevention: not creating waste in the first place. this is the cheapest option and the best for the environment Reuse: such as taking unwanted items to a charity shop Recycling: the success of our kerbside bins for garden and food waste, cardboard, glass, plastics, paper and cans have had a huge impact on recycling and composting rates in this area other Recovery: if it cant be prevented, reused, recycled and composted, then we will aim to recover energy from the waste, for example, by generating energy for the national grid least desirable of all is disposal, such as landfill. on the following pages, we propose eight strategic aims with targets and actions for our revised Draft Strategy. these are based on our plan to continue working in partnership. We have asked a series of questions against each aim and would like your views and any further comments.

Draft Joint Sustainable Waste Management Strategy

AiM 1

Deal with municipal waste in the most sustainable way by moving waste management practice up the waste hierarchy
the following targets are proposed. Target 1 Reduction in Kg of residual waste per household per annum east Riding of Yorkshire Council 2010/11 678 Kg per hhld 443 Kg per hhld 421 Kg per hhld 2015/16 2020/21 Hull City Council 499 Kg per hhld 450 Kg per hhld 400 Kg per hhld

the best way to manage waste is to reduce the amount of waste produced. We plan to increase our efforts to raise awareness of the need to prevent waste and build on the achievements of the past five years, which have seen big rises in recycling and composting and a significant reduction in the amount of waste we sent to landfill.

Target 2 Increase recycling and composting of household waste east Riding of Yorkshire Council 2010/11 2015/16 2020/21 41.6% 62% 65% Hull City Council 49.1% 55% 60%

Target 3 Diversion of municipal waste from landfill east Riding of Yorkshire Council 2010/11 2015/16 2020/21 41.9% 85% 90% Hull City Council 49.2% 85% 90%

to put the targets in context, the residual waste reduction target will contribute to achieving the challenging recycling targets which far exceed those in the Governments national Waste Strategy for england 2011 of 45 per cent by 2015 and 50 per cent by 2020. our targets are separate due to the difference in demographics, housing stock and waste composition. For example, Hull has a higher proportion of flats which makes recycling more difficult; east Riding has a higher proportion of garden waste that can be composted. the treatment of the remaining waste, usually termed residual waste, will form a key part of our Strategy. Given the advances in waste treatment technologies, we are investigating what could be the best solutions for the area.

Actions the councils are proposing the following actions to meet the targets:
Review waste collection policies and operations to encourage practice which seeks to maximise waste prevention Develop a new waste minimisation plan with activities focusing on prevention and reuse Produce a communications plan to raise public awareness of waste prevention and reuse
10

 Continue to lobby Government through the Chartered institution of Waste Management (CiWM), local Government Association (lGA), local Authority Recycling Advisory Committee (lARAC) and the national Association of Waste Disposal officers (nAWDo) to promote the reduction of packaging Sign up to the Governments Household Services Commitment Review the success and performance of the kerbside collection service and listen to feedback from residents in considering future changes Promote the new recycling collection services to businesses investigate the potential for increasing the range of materials collected at the kerbside or at Bring Sites to include batteries and small Waste electrical and electronic equipment (Weee) Produce and implement a communications plan to promote services and maximise participation in all recycling and composting schemes Deliver an infrastructure improvement programme to enhance accessibility across (HWRS) in the east Riding Promote bulky item community reuse schemes through the Call Centre and Customer Service Centres in Hull enhance provision for material separation of residual waste through the councils waste contract procurement process include the diversion target for municipal waste within the councils waste contract specification and require proposed waste treatment technologies or facilities to comply with the waste hierarchy definition of recovery Procure new Waste Contracts that are operational no later than April 2015.

Raise public awareness and responsibility for waste

We are making a commitment in the Strategy to inform, educate and work with the wider community to raise awareness about waste prevention, recycling and reuse and putting waste back to work as a resource. the publics awareness of waste and their responsibility for it will help increase the amount recycled and composted. Participation in our kerbside recycling collection schemes and putting the right materials in the correct bin are particularly important. the following targets are proposed.

Raising awareness and promoting responsibility for waste will help contribute to our targets. So much has already been achieved through this successful partnership, but more has to be done over the coming years.

Target 4 Increase the collection of recyclables and organic waste at the kerbside east Riding of Yorkshire Council 2010/11 2015/16 2020/21 271 Kg per hhld 445 Kg per hhld 494 Kg per hhld Hull City Council 327 Kg per hhld 360 Kg per hhld 392 Kg per hhld

Target 5 Reduce contamination levels within recycling and composting kerbside collections east Riding of Yorkshire Council 2010/11 2015/16 2020/21 5% 4% 3% Hull City Council 5% 4% 3%

Actions the councils are proposing the following actions to meet the targets:
establish a suite of reporting data on performance related to recycling including tonnages, bin presentation rates and participation monitoring establish baseline information on poorer performing areas and produce a targeted action plan to improve participation in these areas Develop a targeted communications plan based on customer segmentation information to increase the number of committed recyclers evaluate the potential for incentive schemes to encourage improved participation Develop local initiatives to promote national awareness raising campaigns Develop an education plan for work in schools and community groups to include a combination of environmental education and awareness raising with waste enforcement considered as a last resort. the councils will consider the wider implications of environmental impact relating to waste issues such as littering, fly-tipping and poor waste containment to raise awareness of their impact on the streetscene and natural environment improve information provision through the councils various customer access channels for residents and businesses.

Provide a network of local recycling facilities for residents and ensure that waste is processed through treatment facilities in accordance with relevant legislation and where appropriate with due recognition of the local planning process
our current Waste Contract is with Waste Recycling Group (WRG). this Contract is due to end in 2013 but could be extended for up to two years. it is our aim to deliver more environmentally friendly and cost effective solutions as part of our new waste contract procurement process. the following targets are proposed. Target 6 ensure Waste Management Contracts are in place up to 2020/21 to process: organic Kerbside Collected Waste Dry Recycling Kerbside Collected Waste Residual Waste ensure Waste Management Contracts are in place up to 2020/21 to manage: Household Waste Recycling Sites Community Recycling Centres ensure Waste Management Contracts are in place up to 2020/21 to provide and manage as appropriate: Waste transfer Stations in the Hull, Goole and Carnaby areas for all waste streams collected by the councils

We provide local recycling centres where residents can take their waste; and secondly we provide facilities so our waste collection vehicles can drop off the waste we collect.

Actions the councils are proposing the following actions to meet the targets:
Procure new Waste Contracts that contribute to the provision of the necessary waste management facilities and infrastructure no later than April 2015 include the targets for recycling, composting and diversion of waste from landfill within the councils Waste Contract specification(s) Continue to manage the existing Waste Contract with WRG against existing performance specifications ensure that the principles of sustainable development are considered during the design, site selection, construction, development and operation of any new waste management facilities.

AiM 4

Divert biodegradable waste from landfill

like other councils, we have to meet Government landfill Directive targets, which require us to reduce the biodegradable waste we can send to landfill. the Governments targets are to: Reduce biodegradable waste landfilled to 50 per cent of the 1995 level by 2013/14 Reduce biodegradable waste landfilled to 35 per cent of the 1995 level by 2020/21. the councils proposed targets exceed those set by the Government. Target 7 Reduce Biodegradable Waste landfilled to 20 per cent of the 1995 level by 2015/16 Reduce Biodegradable Waste landfilled to 15 per cent of the 1995 level by 2020/21

one of the key aims of the strategy is to divert waste such as garden waste, food, paper and cardboard that can be recycled and composted from landfill. this is known as biodegradable waste that breaks down in landfill creating gases like methane.

Actions the councils are proposing the following action to meet the targets:
Continue to divert biodegradable waste from landfill by increasing recycling performance and developing alternative waste treatment facilities to landfill.

Provide leadership in dealing with the councils own internal waste

the following targets are proposed. Target 8 Increase Internal Recycling Performance east Riding of Yorkshire Council 2015/16 2020/21 62% 65% Hull City Council 62% 65%

this aim is about how we will manage the councils own waste and continue to set an example.

the targets have been set in line with the targets for household waste. these targets exceed the national target to recycle 50 per cent of household waste by 2020. Achieving this challenging target will make a significant contribution to reducing the councils Carbon Footprint.

Actions the councils are proposing the following actions to meet the targets:
Hull City Council undertake an internal service review to establish a baseline of current waste management arrangements across the council Provide segregated recycling facilities in all council offices / buildings by 2013/14 Develop a communications plan to promote waste prevention and use of recycling facilities Promote the principle of sustainable procurement and include it in council policies Monitor carbon emissions relating to internal waste collection arrangements (see Aim 8). East Riding of Yorkshire Council undertake an internal service review to establish a baseline of current waste management arrangements across the council introduce additional recycling facilities at corporate sites through the use of the councils commercial waste services implement improvements in waste management procedures (management of Weee and Hazardous waste) Work with leisure Centres to produce a waste minimisation plan Produce an Annual environmental Report in line with eMAS principles to outline the councils current environmental performance and identify the next years actions Promote the principle of sustainable procurement and include it in council policies Monitor carbon emissions relating to internal waste collection arrangements (see Aim 8).

AiM 6

Provide a sustainable waste management service for households and businesses which achieves value for money and high levels of customer satisfaction and which aims to achieve top 10 per cent performance
the following targets are proposed. Target 9

the councils are looking to achieve value for money whilst attaining high levels of satisfaction among stakeholders. this has always been the case but it is especially important now, in the wake of local Government funding cuts.

Achieve top 10 per cent performance compared against councils with similar waste management systems for the cost of household waste collection and waste disposal Target 10 Achieve customer satisfaction levels greater than 90 per cent for waste collection services and Household Waste Recycling Site provision to achieve these targets the councils will provide a regular and reliable kerbside collection service to households and businesses when requested.

Actions the councils are proposing the following actions to meet the targets:
Benchmark performance with top performing councils and those councils with similar waste management systems in place network with local councils within our comparator groups and national forums to develop improved waste services and share best practice Monitor and analyse complaints to address service delivery issues Monitor and measure customer satisfaction to improve performance across all waste services Work with new waste contractors to monitor and improve customer service standards at all Household Waste Recycling Sites undertake regular reviews and optimisation of waste collection rounds to maximise efficiency Sign up to the Business Recycling and Waste Service Commitment.

AiM 7

Work with local and regional stakeholders to ensure delivery of the councils strategic objectives
the following targets are proposed. Target 11 Deliver flexible services which reflect local need Target 12

the councils are committed to delivering flexible waste management services with facilities that meet the local needs and requirements.

Work with local Social enterprises and the Voluntary and Community Sector to support local waste minimisation, reuse and recycling initiatives By flexible we mean that we know there is no such thing as a one size fits all when it comes to waste management. For example, in providing services we have to look at the type of properties there are across our area. Houses of multiple occupancy and flats often require different solutions to a traditional housing estate. We also welcome opportunities to support and work with the voluntary and community sector, such as those organisations involved in delivering services for recycling, waste and environmental management.

Actions the councils are proposing the following actions to meet the targets:
Map social enterprises and organisations in the voluntary and community sector engaged in recycling and promote and advertise these organisations to residents through the councils access channels identify funding initiatives and links to other priorities to promote community composting and community recycling projects Support initiatives that reduce landfill such as food banks, and recycling and reuse projects identify and agree a form of engagement and consultation with local areas and neighbourhoods on recycling and waste collections Work with neighbouring councils to develop regional waste initiatives where possible that deliver economies of scale and improved awareness Develop communication strategies that address specific community needs and maximise inclusion and access to services through a combination of service design and community engagement.

to reduce the climate change impact of the councils waste services

the Climate Change Act has set a 34 per cent reduction target in national Co2 emissions by 2020 from a 1990 baseline. However, there is no historic data available. the councils are therefore proposing to gather baseline information from 2012/13 and reduce emissions in line with the Climate Change Act from this year. the following target is proposed. Target 13 Reduce Co2 emissions relating to waste collection and disposal services by 2 to 3 per cent per annum, from the baseline year 2012/13

We want to see reduced carbon dioxide emissions both from the services we deliver and from those of our contractors.

Actions the councils are proposing the following actions to meet the targets:
Develop a baseline position for Co2 emissions and monitoring arrangements relating to waste management services from 2012/13 for household, commercial and internal waste management services implement a timetable for transition of existing fleet to low carbon power vehicles Reschedule and optimise waste collection rounds on a regular basis to ensure that they are efficient, minimise travel time and therefore reduce vehicle emissions ensure that Co2 emissions reduction targets are included in any future Waste Contract tender evaluation process encourage any future waste contractor to comply with the councils Co2 emission reduction targets in dealing with our waste instigate research into how the greenhouse gas emissions created by waste collected (in landfill, etc.) can be effectively measured See also actions relating to Aim 5: provide leadership in dealing with the councils own internal waste.
