Figure 17: Two Investment Measures to Expand Recycling and Composting<br />
Measure Aims Rationale Estimated Cost Benefit/impact<br />
1. Advice to local authorities<br />
on the implementation and<br />
improvement of kerbside<br />
collection, particularly for<br />
organic waste, through a<br />
Kerbside Taskforce (KTF)<br />
service to local authorities.<br />
● To give direct advice to<br />
local authorities;<br />
● to deliver training to<br />
recycling/composting<br />
managers.<br />
● WRAP is currently<br />
piloting a national<br />
training programme for<br />
recycling managers as<br />
part of the Quality<br />
Sourcing Initiative. Even<br />
at this early stage, it is<br />
clear that there is a<br />
strong demand from<br />
local authorities for<br />
more intensive expert<br />
advice and support to<br />
assist them in devising<br />
and implementing<br />
successful kerbside<br />
collection programmes.<br />
● The role of the KTF is<br />
advisory but it would<br />
work alongside the rollout<br />
of the Challenge<br />
Fund and other<br />
government initiatives.<br />
£7 million over 3 years.<br />
● The KTF would be<br />
available to local<br />
authorities for up to 30<br />
person days/year on an<br />
application basis.<br />
● Criteria would be<br />
developed for provision<br />
of support, based on<br />
local authority need,<br />
current performance,<br />
likely resources<br />
available to them and<br />
potential tonnages<br />
recycled/composted to<br />
secure maximum<br />
leverage in raising<br />
recycling/composting<br />
rates.<br />
