Have your say on Surrey’s Waste Local Plan

Surrey County Council has launched a consultation giving you the chance to have your say on the vision for the new Surrey Waste Local Plan.

It’s important that the waste Surrey produces is managed sustainably while working towards sending zero waste to landfill. The new plan will make sure enough land is available so that facilities can be built to manage the waste Surrey households and businesses produce in the most sustainable way.

What is the Surrey Waste Plan?

The new Surrey Waste Local Plan will identify sites or areas that are best suited for waste facilities, taking lots of factors into consideration, such as the environment and local communities. The plan will also set out policies that will guide decision making.
