Nottinghamshire and Nottingham Draft Waste Local Plan January 2022
Representation ID: 601
Received: 28/03/2022
Respondent: Susan Edwards
A focus on re-use/repair/hire as an option. Using community areas such as libraries as an area not only to hire books but to hire garden/decorating equipment/ power tools etc so that people do not need to buy equipment they only use once a year. The equipment can be properly maintained so that there is less of the "cheaper to buy a new one rather than repair an old one" option. Installation of water fountains/taps to enable refill of drinking vessels rather than buying plastic bottles. There are lots of ideas around to easily cut waste in a positive way.
