“The management and day-to-day running of Staffordshire’s Household Waste Recycling Centres is a large, complex operation and I am delighted that the move to bring the service back in-house has gone so smoothly.

 

This will ensure we maintain the best service for residents, be sustainable and provide value for money for taxpayers and I know that users are already noticing improvements on the ground. Now we begin to think about long term development and our ambitious plans to improve facilities and encourage more sophisticated recycling methods”.

 

Simon Tagg, Cabinet Member for Environment, Infrastructure and Climate Change
