The decision concerns the approval of the fees and charges for the Council’s Business Waste service for the 2026–2027 financial year. In line with previous Cabinet agreements for services with a commercial focus, the decision will be taken by the Service Director - Community Safety & Street Scene.
The proposed approach is to implement a variable pricing structure based on receptacle type, collection frequency, and tonnage. The Business Waste Officer will retain the flexibility to negotiate pricing within set parameters to support customer retention and encourage new business.
