Miliband publishes strategy to cut waste
July 27 2007
On 24th May 2007, David Miliband (Environment Secretary) published a new strategy for cutting waste. A key part of this strategy is the emphasis it places on everyone – including businesses, individuals, local authorities and the Government – to play a role in cutting the waste they produce.
The Government is also launching a consultation on removing the ban on local authorities introducing financial incentives for recycling. Any such schemes will have to return all revenues back to local residents.
