The | The collection of waste and recyclables from residents is a legal requirement and no charge can be made for this service. The exception under the [[Controlled Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2012]] allows a [[Waste Collection Authority]] to charge their residents for the collection of their [[Green Waste]] which has led to two types of arrangement being implemented across the country, [[Charged]] and [[No Charge]] systems | ||
* '''Free Collection''' - Most authorities initially did not charge their residents for the collection of their [[Green Waste]] and those that continue to provide the service with no charge/fee, do so either becuase of a political reluctance to charge and/or a perception that a change would lead to a drop in recycling figures or a political desire to retain their position as a 'high achieving recycling authority'. | |||
* '''Charged Collection''' - Many authorities have moved to a charged system, mainly driven by a desire to recover the cost of collection from those that use it the most, but also due to the perception that free collection leads to an increase in collected waste and a reduction in, for example, home composting. | |||
In addition to [[Green Waste]] collected by the [[Waste Collection Authority]], [[Green Waste]] is also handled by the [[Waste Disposal Authority]] at a [[Household Waste Recycling Centre]] where the public bring their [[Garden Waste]]/[[Green Waste]] to be bulked up and disposed of in a similar way to the collected [[Green Waste]]. | |||
