The Recycling Tracker is the largest and longest running survey on recycling attitudes, values and behaviours.

These appendices provide supporting information to the Household food waste collections guide.

WRAP’s mission is to accelerate the move to a sustainable, resource-efficient economy through:

• re-inventing how we design, produce and sell products
• re-thinking how we use and consume products
• re-defining what is possible through re-use and recycling

Join Marketing Executive, Harriet Rockliff-Nally, in a simple walk-through of how to edit and adapt WRAP communications materials, using Adobe InDesign.

This webinar was designed to help local authorities effectively plan and develop communications that support service changes, whether it’s the introduction of a new waste service or changes to existing recycling schemes.

The focus of this guide is on the collection of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) from households through designated collection facilities (DCFs). It brings together existing information and explains the roles of different parties, particularly operators of approved DCFs, approved Producer Compliance Schemes (PCSs) and Local Authorities (LAs).

The Recycle Now programme commissioned research to explore people’s barriers to recycling at home. This report forms part of our guidance to Local Authorities on how to create more informative, pursuasive and engaging communications campaigns. 

This guide provides local authorities with information on the collection of household food waste as a means of diverting material from landfill or other residual waste treatment. It updates the 2009 guide and pulls together the findings from more recent studies and pilots conducted by WRAP and others.

Providing householders with a service that encourages food waste collection is important but communicating how the service needs to be used is vital to increasing participation.

Providing practical ways for householders to manage food waste in the kitchen as well as for storing food waste outside the house is important in encouraging householders to engage with a food waste collection service.

Public support is vital to the success of any food waste collection scheme. How householders view their local service has a major impact on participation.
