This paper demonstrates why one county council in the UK has adopted a very proactive position towards inert waste and its reuse and recycling, and how that council is attempting to increase the use of this material. It describes how Babtie has worked with Berkshire County Council and gives an outline of Berkshire and the County`s responsibilities. The environmental/planning issues affecting minerals and waste in Berkshire and the approach the Council is adopting via policy documents and its role as a corporate body are discussed. The actions of the County Council are described with regard to increasing the reuse and recycling of inert wastes on the road network and the roles of specifications and contractors. The impact of some of the more relevant issues (markets, practical issues, planning, and supply and demand) is assessed.
