Why your feedback on our draft waste strategy matters
Consultation closed: 14 October 2025
Consultation opened: 3 September 2025
This consultation has closed.
Whether you're a recycling expert, trying to reduce waste or simply unsure about what goes in which bin, your experiences and ideas matter. This was your chance to help shape how we manage waste for years to come.
We wanted to know:
- what you think about the proposals
- how we can help you overcome challenges
- what would help you reduce waste or recycle more
- any local initiatives we could support or learn from
Online engagement event
