Budget and Service Plan (2008/09)
The Council's financial approach requires all services to combine their annual budget proposals with their annual service plan to produce an annual Budget and Service Plan. The Plan sets out the proposed service changes and financial efficiencies for 2008/09 in line with the Council’s approved budget.
This includes
- An overview of the Service with details of responsibilities, budgets and staffing
- The opportunities and challenges currently facing Land and Environmental Services
- An assessment of performance over recent years with details of specific performance indicators
- Details of the service changes for 2008/09. These cover individual proposals for income generation, efficiency savings, budget pressures and service investment.

Waste management strategy
The City Council was awarded £9.39m from the Scottish Executive for the implementation of an agreed Waste Strategy Plan for the period 2003/06. This funding was used to expand the household collection system of blue and brown bins for the recycling of plastic, paper and garden refuse, to increase the number of street recycling 'bring' sites, to convert existing civic amenity sites into recycling centres and to upgrade the materials reclamation processing facility.
Waste Strategy Plan 2003/06 (191k)
Continuing its funding initiative for period 2007/20, the Scottish Government has provided Glasgow with access to £27m specifically to expand recycling to tenemental properties and generally to increase the recycling rate.
