RESOLVED That the Strategic Options Appraisal, attached at Appendix 1 to the report, be noted. Reason:  The Council has a statutory duty to arrange for the collection of household waste (Environmental Protection Act 1990). A strategic review of the options for succeeding the existing contract, concludes that reprocurement offers the best value at least risk.
