How will Compulsory Recycling be enforced?
Recycling collections are emptied weekly so it will be easy to monitor which households are not taking part in the scheme. Recycling assistants will visit households who do not regularly recycle to explain the scheme and encourage residents to participate. Residents who continue not to recycle will receive warnings and could be liable for a £100 fixed penalty notice. Residents refusing to pay this notice will be taken to court, where they could face a fine of up to £1,000.
