Effective communications will be tailored to suit different stakeholder groups and their different behaviours and motivations. Local authorities should work with local partners to push out communications and use national brands to build awareness on key waste prevention issues.

In 2020 WRAP carried out an options appraisal on behalf of a medium sized Waste Collection Authority in the midlands to compare the cost and performance of a range of collection scenarios in preparation for necessary changes to its household waste collection service.

Making it easier for people who live, work, learn in or visit cities and other dense urban environments to recycle, is a priority for government and local delivery partners. 

Urban areas often have lower household recycling rates than the national average and research indicates this is due in part to the presence of high-density housing and flats.

This study summarises research undertaken to estimate the potential to achieve a municipal recycling rate of 65%.

In this webinar, Cathy Cook from LWARB joins WRAP’s Debbie Slater to talk about the topic of HMOs.

Gemma Scott, Local Authority Support Manager (Flats) from Resource London and Julia Bragg, Local Authority Technical Consulatant for WRAP, will introduce key learnings from in-depth research into how people manage their waste in flats. This webinar will explore how these learnings can be used in other local authorities, and will share information on the barriers and opportunities that shaped the intervention phase of the flats project.

Following on from our previous webinar with Resource London, in this second session, Gemma Scott, Local Authority Support Manager (Flats) from Resource London and Julia Bragg, from WRAP, introduce practical guidance and a new tool kit to local authorities and housing associations. The tool kit is especially designed to address barriers to recycling in flats.

In this webinar from July 2019, we share our learnings from the last 12 years on separate household food waste collections, to help local authorities to introduce collections for the first time.
