COMPLETE. New service uses split bodied collection vehicles, which has reduced the need for additional food waste vehicles.  Recycling rate has increased to 50%

P26

Crematorium Holding Policy

EMS Project Manager

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not done. This is sensitive and would require a big commitment from the crematorium, possibly changes in  shift patterns etc, when the financial and environmental benefits are not proven.  Also is fundamentally at odds with the high standards of service incorporated into Council’s customer care policy, which undertakes to cremate people in 24 hours, in line with the relevant guidance.  Also gives rise to potential storage issues.
