The Essex Waste Partnership has been working together to create a new Waste Strategy for Essex. The partnership includes the County Council and the 12 District, City and Borough councils in Essex.
The draft Waste Strategy for Essex sets out a plan for how we will manage recycling and waste in Essex for the next 30 years.
The partnership want people to rethink waste, by focusing on reducing, reusing and recycling more to protect the environment.
In September 2023 we launched a 10-week public consultation on behalf of the partnership. This gave people the chance to have their say on the draft Waste Strategy. Over 4,500 people completed the survey and the responses were independently analysed.
Results show there is a good level of agreement from across the county on the key proposals. The findings will inform the final Waste Strategy for Essex.
The adoption of the Waste Strategy for Essex will be subject to a separate decision.
