Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs when she intends to publish updated regulations on doorstep waste collection; and if she will place a copy of his proposals in the Library of the House of Commons.

Following support at consultation, the Environment Act 2021 amends the Environmental Protection Act 1990 to stipulate that all local authorities in England will be required to collect a core set of materials for recycling. Last year we held a second consultation on proposals including implementation timelines, materials in scope and exemptions. We will publish a consultation response in due course before taking regulations through Parliament.
