Why did the Council implement the ABC scheme?
The ABC scheme was implemented in October 2006 for environmental and economic reasons. By adopting these measures we are recycling and composting much more and sending less of our household waste for disposal in polluting landfill. The Council is also trying to avoid you having to pay the increased taxes and fines associated with spiralling landfill costs. If we had not made the change, Bracknell Forest residents could have faced paying up to an extra £7.7 million over the next five years.
