Waste
Devon County Council is committed to the principle of seeking to reduce the amount of waste generated by society, the re-use of waste materials wherever possible, and the recovery of the value from waste, for example, by composting and recycling.
To report waste spillage on the road please select Road Maintenance.
If you are interested in composting at home compost bins can be purchased from your local district/city council. For more information see: Recycle Devon
Review of the Waste and Resource Strategy for Devon
Following the consultation exercise carried out in 2012, the review document has been approved by the Devon Authorities Waste Reduction and Recycling Committee and is available to view at Waste Management Strategy Review. Work is ongoing in a number of areas and this work will supplement the reviews as it is completed. The work includes waste prevention and reuse strategy.
The Review looks at the Waste Management Strategy for Devon which was published in March 2005. With changes to legislation, targets, waste arisings and new methods of collection and disposal of household waste, the review establishes where we are and how to secure sustainable waste management into the future.
