WRAP support in practice
Cotswold District Council asked WRAP to look at the efficiency of their refuse, dry recycling and organic waste collection service. We identified a number of areas where operational changes could be introduced that would lead to financial savings.
Support has been provided to West Oxfordshire District Council throughout 2009/10 on the procurement of its new collection contract.
WRAP provided operational and communications support to help Barrow-in-Furness Borough Council introduce a new service with the objective of increasing recycling and limiting the waste sent for landfill.
