  15. Recycling Household Waste Disposal • Customers provided with household recycling bins. • Customer support/assistance to remove waste where appropriate e.g. unable to self-evacuate. • Education for customers about what can be recycled and the impact of not recycling. • Enforcement action taken for customers who leave rubbish on landings. • Removal of the chute system will reduce noise disturbance to customers.

  16. Recycling Bulk Waste Removal • Currently rubbish stored in bulk rooms however frequently this is left on landings by customers – significant fire risk. • Risk of combustible items stored in the bulk room. • Propose to replace current arrangements with an appointment based service – items remain in flat until they are picked up for removal. • Analyse cost and recoup – service charge? One off payment? • Items will be recycled or re-used where possible.
