To move the following Clause:—
'(1) The Environmental Protection Act 1990 is amended as follows.
(2) In section 45 (collection of controlled waste) after subsection (1) there is inserted,
| "(1A) | In arranging for the collection of household waste under subsection (1)(a) above, each waste collection authority shall ensure that, subject to subsections (1B) and (1C) below, by 2010 every household in their area has a separate collection of at least four types of recyclable waste. |
| (1B) | If by 2010, a local authority has provided facilities or services that enable a household to compost biodegradable kitchen and garden waste either at home or through collections of waste which are processed in a central composting facility they may reduce the types of recyclable waste collected from that household to three. |
| (1C) | If in the opinion of the Secretary of State it is reasonable to do so, he may by order specify that a waste collection authority may have additional time to meet the duty required by subsection (1B) above, and different times may be specified for different waste collection authorities, provided that any additional time specified is no more than five years and that reasons for any such specification are published in a report that is laid before Parliament. |
| (1D) | In this section, "types of recyclable" waste shall be defined as follows: |
| | metal food or drinks containers |
| | glass food or drinks containers, and other such glass as defined appropriate by the local authority |
| | textiles, fabrics or clothes |
| | unused household paints and varnishes |
| | used engine oils and lubricants |
(3) In section 46(1) (receptacles for household waste), after "section 45(1)(a)" there is inserted "or sections 45(1A), or 45(1B)".
(4) In section 48(2) (duties of waste collection authorities as respects disposal of waste collected), after "respects", there is inserted "the recyclable household waste or any biodegradable household waste collected subject to sections 45(1A), or 45(1B) or for other".
(5) In section 51(1) after (b) there is inserted—
