Submission Documents: By Councillor Martha Wardrop:- "Council notes that Glasgow's already disappointing recycling performance went backwards in 2016, with households recycling just a quarter of all waste whilst nationally the best performing council achieved over 60%; further notes that this is a long-standing disgrace and that Glasgow now lags well behind all other Scottish cities; recognises that waste collection is one of the few truly universal services the Council delivers and that many residents feel let down, especially in relation to food waste collections; and believes that a bold new approach is needed to transform Glasgow's recycling and waste collections so we build and reap the benefits of a more circular economy. Council therefore commits to develop a new Zero Waste Strategy for the city which is ambitious in scope and well-resourced; and further commits to take immediate steps to resolve operational issues with food waste so that residents have a high quality service they can rely on."
