1. Please provide details of the income generated from the sale of all types of recycling material from your refuge sites.
The household waste recycling centres are operated by contractors, and any income generated by contractors is used to reduce the overall cost of the recycling centre service to Devon County Council (DCC) and tax payers. The contractors are responsible for the sale of recyclable materials and the operation of the charging scheme for DIY type waste. As such, DCC does not hold information regarding total income generated from this.
Full details regarding the charging scheme can be found on this Chargeable waste Devon – Waste and Recycling webpage. Please note information is also on the blue tabs at the bottom of the page, which explains the legal position.
2. Please provide the additional income generated from the charges applied to residents for “chargeable items” over the last 24 months.
Please refer to the response to Q1.
