The Environmental Protection (Waste Recycling Payments) Regulations 1992 shall be amended as follows.

For regulation 2(2) there shall be substituted the following:

The authority’s net saving of expenditure shall be an amount equal to the expenditure which it would have incurred in disposing of the waste at a cost per tonne equal to its average cost per tonne at the relevant time of disposing of similar waste using its most expensive disposal method for waste collected in the relevant area.

In paragraph (2) above, “the relevant area” means the waste collection authority area in which the waste in question is collected or, where the waste in question is collected by a person other than a waste collection authority in the area of more than one waste collection authority and it is not reasonably practicable for that person to determine how much of that waste was collected in each such area, the area consisting of the areas of all those waste collection authorities.

For the Schedule there shall be substituted—

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

Section 52(1) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 requires waste disposal authorities to pay waste collection authorities amounts representing their net savings on the disposal of waste retained by collection authorities for recycling.

Section 52(3) of that Act confers a power on waste disposal authorities to pay persons other than waste collection authorities equivalent amounts for waste collected by them for recycling.

The Environmental Protection (Waste Recycling Payments) Regulations 1992 make provision for the determination of a waste disposal authority’s net saving of expenditure for the purposes of section 52(1) or (3) of that Act in relation to such waste. The Schedule to the 1992 Regulations provides figures for determining a waste disposal authority’s net saving of expenditure where this cannot otherwise be determined because sufficient accurate information is not available or could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.

These Regulations amend the method of calculating the net saving of expenditure, and increase the figures in the Schedule, to reflect the fact that authorities have now had adequate opportunity to adjust their arrangements to achieve a full saving of costs.
