What is Mansfield Districts current recycling rate?
Initial costings show that the price of introducing a weekly green bin collection in the Mansfield District for a 13-week period over the summer would be approximately £284,000. Other factors such as the availability of staff and vehicles, the cost of land to store additional vehicles and the need for sickness and holiday cover also need to be taken into account. If more waste is generated, additional landfill costs would also have to be met as would any fines imposed by the EU if the recycling rate does not hit its targets.
