Issues Associated with a Levy on Solid Waste – A Review of Positions and Possibilities

March 2006

In December 2005, the Ministry for the Environment commissioned Martin Ward to do a informal round of consultation on the issues around the introduction of a waste levy.

The report that resulted from this is not official government policy, nor does it represent the Ministry's position on the issues of waste levies. It is however a background document that highlights some of the issues that will need to be factored in if policy on national waste levies is to progress.

Availability:

The Ministry for the Environment invited interested parties to provide feedback on the Ward report.

We have prepared a summary of the submissions received.

For the Ministry of the Environment, the Martin Ward report and the feedback were part of a broader process to investigate the different policy options on waste levies.

Our current issues webpage for waste management policy has more on the Ministry’s work on waste levies.
