WRAP’s household waste collection commitment worked with local authorities to make a commitment to the first set of principles for a good waste and recycling service based on the views of the public.
What was the aim?
The Commitment aimed to help local authorities improve residents' satisfaction with how their rubbish and recycling is collected and ultimately boost recycling rates.
Based on research on residents' views about what they like and dislike about their existing services and in consultation with local authorities, the Household Waste Collection Commitment sets out in plain English the principles which should underpin domestic waste and recycling collection services.
What’s happening today?
The Household Waste Collection Commitment is not currently open for sign-ups. However, the knowledge and resources developed by the Commitment are in use by a number of new and exciting initiatives aimed at increasing the rates of food collection and improving the consistency of recycling collections throughout England:
