On Thursday 29th August at the East Ayrshire Council Full Council Meeting we discussed the Waste and Recycling Review.
I can advise my constituents that the East Ayrshire Conservative Group and I opposed the £10 (33%) rise for the Garden Waste Permit, although we would prefer the Permit system to be removed completely and will continue to work towards that end.
With the current Cost of Living Crisis we were pleased to support the 50% reduction in the Bulky Waste Collection Fees for residents in receipt of qualifying benefits such as Council Tax Benefits or Universal Credit.
We supported the move to a four weekly waste cycle for all waste and recycling with food waste still remaining weekly. Moving forward this will provide a more efficient waste and recycling service and will give us all better value for money.
