Report of the Director of the Built Environment.

The Committee considered a report of the Director of the Built Environment regarding the Cleansing Services’ plans for a high profile campaign in relation to the recycling of disposable coffee cups to take place in April 2017. The Assistant Director of Cleansing explained that one of the funders had requested that the target be reduced from one million cups to 500,000.

In response to Members’ questions, the Assistant Director of Cleansing advised that City Corporation departments would be encouraged to take part in the scheme with particular emphasis on those who use a high volume of cups and there would be temporary collection points for the coffee cups which had been designed to last the duration of the campaign.

RESOLVED – That the Committee note the report.
