Review of the Waste and Resource Strategy for Devon

The Waste Management Strategy for Devon was published in March 2005. With changes to legislation, targets, waste arisings and new methods of collection and disposal of household waste, it is time to review where we are and establish how to secure sustainable waste management into the future.

The Devon Authorities are consulting on the Review of the Waste Strategy from May 17 to July 20. The document focuses on further advances in waste prevention reuse and recycling which will lead to reduced environmental impact and economic benefits.
