Minutes:

The Barnsley, Doncaster and Rotherham Joint Waste Manager submitted a report which highlighted and updated the following issues relating to the Joint Waste Private Finance Initiative (PFI) for the period September-October, 2017:-

 

-          The contractor was on target to achieve the 12.5% recycling performance by the end of the financial year

-          Table of recycling tonnes processed April-October 2017

-          The issue of moisture loss and its inclusion in the recycling rate would continue to be pursued with DEFRA

-          Discussions were ongoing with the contractor with regard to the fire protection work which was programmed for July 2018.  It was felt that, given the issues that had been experienced, this was too long a timescale

-          The Community Education Officer was assisting Rotherham Council’s consultation material and working with Communications on a video around plastic

-          The results of the waste compositional analysis were currently being worked through
