Mr. Sean Scott:

I will take one point quickly. In terms of arranging for collection, we do that under section 34 of the Waste Management Act through the national waste collection permit office. It is a very heavily regulated system in which we regulate about 2,000 waste collection permit holders. That is important. In terms of trying to maximise "reduce, reuse, recycle", we have some recent Government initiatives around commercial regulations and incentivisation regulations - in July 2023 - to try to increase our recycling rates and to ensure we have better segregation in the commercial sector. That is something local authorities and the waste enforcement regional lead authorities, WERLAs, are enforcing throughout the country through the national enforcement priorities process I mentioned earlier. We also have the roll-out of the brown bin to the remaining 400,000-odd households. Up to that, the requirement is on agglomerations greater than 500. To be fair, the industry had a roll-out of close to 96% at December 2023. We had to just go the last stretch of the road now to get to the end of that. The regional enforcement officers have direct responsibility for that enforcement. It is an example of our officials in that regard. We are developing smart plans with the industry to ensure we get targeted delivery of the programme by the end of the year.
