Richard Haste reported that in 2014, South Molton Recycling went into liquidation and Torridge TDC brought back an interim in-house service for an 18 month period whilst they looked into the best options for Torridge waste and recycling services. North Devon are trialling three weekly collections. Richard Haste explained that on average the dustcart travels 4 ½ miles to the gallon. Torridge needs to modernise its fleet of vehicles to improve the recycling rates and reduce what goes to landfill. In order that TDC meets its target of 50% recycling by 2020, new arrangements are being put in place to be implemented in 2018. Each household will be issued with a small bucket with a lid known as a ‘caddy’. All food waste will be put in these and collected weekly with the green box.
