Welsh Government’s third stage consultation on waste guidance

Last June the Welsh Government released the third consultation on the guidance on recycling, preparation for re-use and composting targets. The consultation ends on 4th October 2013.
 
You can download REA's response HERE.

The Recycling, Preparation for Re-use and Composting Targets (Definitions) (Wales) Order 2011 defines recycling, preparation for re-use and composting for the targets in section 3 of the Waste (Wales) Measure 2010.

The Recycling, Preparation for Re-use and Composting Targets (Monitoring and Penalties) (Wales) Regulations 2011 detail how compliance with targets will be monitored. It also sets out the penalties for non compliance.

The Guidance is prepared under section 7 of the Waste (Wales) Measure 2010. It supports the definitions in the Order and the monitoring regime set under regulations 4 and 5 of the Regulations.
