Doorstep Recycling

EDM number 333 in 2002-03, proposed by Joan Ruddock on 10/12/2002.

That this House believes that every household should have a quality doorstep recycling service by 2010; welcomes the recommendation for a universal service in the Cabinet Office Strategy Unit's report, 'Waste not, want not', further welcomes the all-party support for doorstep recycling, including the Prime Minister's statement in October 2000 that 'I want to see every local authority offering doorstep recycling' and the Conservative and Liberal Democrat manifesto commitments to nationwide doorstep recycling schemes; notes also that the majority of honourable Members have signed Motions supporting such a policy in this Parliament and that the Strategy Unit warn that waste is causing 'significant and growing damage to the environment' and that 'it costs less to act now'; and therefore hopes that doorstep recycling bill can be passed in this session.

This motion has been signed by a total of 326 MPs, 6 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
