Waste Management has a statutory requirement to replace domestic waste and recycling wheeled bins when they become damaged, lost or reach the end of their working life, and to provide new bins when new services are implemented. Due to the number of wheeled bins in use across the city the cost of this replacement service has been capitalised for a number of years.
Waste Management provides a network of 700+ glass recycling banks across Leeds. When these banks become damaged or reach the end of their working life they need to be replaced in order to comply with safety requirements (LOLER).
The previous bin replacement capital programme (Scheme 12594) totalling £5.67m is now fully spent. A new replacement wheeled bin capital programme is now required. This is recommended for the next 10 years at a cost of £4.8M
A replacement glass recycling bank capital programme is also required. This is recommended for the next 10 years at a cost of £200K. There was no previous capital scheme covering these costs.
