Consistency in Recycling Collections in England
In February 2019, DEFRA published[1] a consultation proposing greater consistency in household and business recycling collections in England. This consultation was launched in parallel with consultations on Extended Producer Responsibility and the implementation of a Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) in England, in conjunction with the devolved administration in Wales and DAERA in Northern Ireland.
The first stage consultation completed in May 2019, with a second stage commencing in May 2021 for completion by July 2021[2].
