Members received a report which asked them to consider introducing a permits scheme to help control trailers and the size of vehicles using the Council’s Household Waste Recycling Centres, in order to reduce the level of illegal trade waste disposal and limit the amount of construction and demolition waste that can be disposed of at the sites.  

The report presented the following options for consideration:

·        Option 1 – A permit scheme for vehicles and trailers;

·        Option 2 – Limiting the quantity of construction and demolition waste;
