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 />
