Wiltshire Waste Strategy Survey

Conservative-run Wiltshire Council wants to develop a new waste management strategy in order to shape how it collects and manages household waste and recycling in Wiltshire over the next 10 years. The Council is undertaking a public consultation in order to ensure that its strategy is representative of Wiltshire residents’ opinions on the future delivery of household waste management services.  

The new waste management strategy will need to be financially achievable. It currently costs the council upwards of £30 million per year to manage all of Wiltshire’s household waste and recycling with each household producing an average of 566 kg of non-recycled waste per year. It is expensive to treat and dispose of non-recycled waste. In addition, not all recycling has a value; the Council has to pay to collect and recycle some materials. Any income that is generated from recycling goes towards offsetting a small part of the cost of delivering the service.
