Decision details

The kerbside garden waste collection service continues to grow, but there are

opportunities to achieve efficiencies in the administration of its operation.

Direct debit payments are potentially more stable than card payments, involve

less staff time once the arrangement is set up, and should reduce the

incidence of problems with termination and restarting service associated with

failure to pay on time, such as missed collections.

RESOLVED that:

i.              The kerbside garden waste collection subscription is set at £45 for the year 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2020.

ii.             A £10 discount will be made for new customers paying by direct debit, existing customers switching their payment method to direct debit and existing customers currently paying by direct debit.
