RESOLVED that the minutes of the Joint waste Disposal Board Management Committee be approved as a correct record and signed by the Chairman.

Matters Arising

Minute 15: It was reported that during the period January to February 2015 Wokingham Borough Council had received 82 notifications of fly-tipping.  This compared to 105 reports during the same period in 2014 and it was considered that the removal of the Amenity Waste Collection Service was currently having a minimal impact on the Borough. The situation would be monitored however.  Anecdotally the majority of residents were understanding of the reasons behind the service’s removal and were supportive of the Council’s decision.

Minute 18:  Reading Borough Council had published its Waste Minimisation Strategy. It was suggested that that a means of capturing the consultation responses of the other re3 councils (Bracknell Forest and Wokingham) would be considered. Furthermore that the outcomes of the consultation would be used to inform the work of the other re3 Councils when considering waste minimisation.
