To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps her Department taking to ensure that households have adequate access to recycling facilities.
Answer
This Government is committed to ensuring residents are able to dispose of their waste for recycling in a convenient and responsible manner. As part of this commitment, Government has announced this past Sunday that householders across England will no longer be charged to dispose of DIY construction waste at Household Waste Recycling Centres. The legislative changes will be brought into force later this year.
