Strategy and Challenges 8 Geographical areas were targeted for incremental roll-out, commencing in November 2007 with an initial target completion date of September 2008. Delays in wheel bin deliveries resulted in a revised completion date of June 2009. We have adopted a “bespoke” provision of wheel bins that meet the Householder/Building requirements. Our greatest challenges have been recyclate contamination i.e. Plastics & Bin provision An intensive marketing & publicity campaign is/has been essential…………and it MUST continue. Once roll-out is complete, 105,000 properties will receive a full waste collection service, that will result in 233,000 receptacles being collected WEEKLY!

Consequences of not increasing recycling rates In Salford Waste Strategy for England 2007,imposed legislative targets on the Authority Household Waste Recycling Act 2003-Imposed a legal requirement for the authority to collect & recycle 2 or more “waste” products L.A.T.S.-(Landfill Allowance Taxation Scheme)-Financial penalties are imposed on a L.A. for the failure divert waste from landfill. Public Demand GMWDA & Viridor-Laing- Disposal partnership will provide Salford with the latest technology in Waste Disposal/Management for the next 25 years, which will contribute to our target of 50% recycling by 2020. New Waste Treatment facilities will provide additional jobs within Salford, & the Greater Manchester region.
