Commentary Part 1: Local Government Chapter 10: Miscellaneous Repeals Section 47: Schemes to encourage domestic waste reduction by payments and charges
143.This section removes sections 71 to 75 of and Schedule 5 to the Climate Change Act 2008 and so removes the powers for local authorities to pilot charge-and-reward waste reduction schemes. Local Authorities will still be free to introduce schemes which reward householders for waste reduction, under their well-being powers or general powers of competence, as appropriate, but will no longer need to complete the processes required under the Climate Change Act 2008.
