WRAP support – some changes • New business plan for 2011 – 2015 will be published in June • New Director – Marcus Gover • Integrated, internally, our collections and sorting teams; now “Collections and Quality” not “Local Government Services” • Will be taking forward our work on business waste, reuse and mixed plastics • New areas include recycling ‘on the go’
Local authority support • Direct 1:1 operational support is available but will be more focused in scope… • We will continue to be a source of good practice information, case studies and benchmark data • Training courses – events for 2011/12 now on the website and will be added to during the year • We will continue to develop 'Recycle Now' & 'Love Food Hate Waste' and develop collateral for reuse campaigns – but our direct funding for local authority campaigns will no longer be able and advisory support will be limited.
1:1 Advisory support will be available for • LAs going to market to procure new collection service contracts (where any framework arrangements are not suitable) • LAs not going to market, but who are planning major service changes and looking to improve their services e.g. through the addition of new materials for recycling • LAs looking to enter joint working/partnership arrangements to facilitate the harmonisation of services • LAs who market their own dry recyclables to obtain competitively priced contracts with reprocessors/traders
WRAP & iESE joint working • We both provide support to local authorities • We both receive funding from Defra • We both have to be more focused in the future in terms of the amount and type of support we can offer LAs Therefore.. • We need to avoid potential for duplication • We need to ensure programmes are complementary and take account of local government needs • We need to ensure priorities identified by Defra are addressed
Joint working MoU • Recently reached Agreement on an MoU (to be promoted more widely shortly) • This sets out • Key areas for support with specific responsibilities for delivery • Areas where closer collaboration is required • Sets out a basis for • discussing, planning, and reviewing our activities • Annually reviewing the scope of the MoU with Defra
Key areas for support • WRAP Lead • Reuse, recycling & residual waste collections – good practice information and 1:1 support (as outlined in earlier slide) • Recycling ‘on the go’ • Behaviour change and communications • Training courses, workshops, events • iESE Lead (will be offered nationally) • Organisational transformation • Service ‘health check’ reviews • Joint working & partnerships • WIN
Collaborative working - procurement iESE • Framework contracts for waste services (e.g. SE, London, West Midlands) • Framework contracts for commodities (e.g. home composting bin) WRAP • Non–framework procurement of collection / recycling services • Joint / selling or marketing of recyclable materials
On-going work due for publication soon.. • Zero Waste Places case studies • Partnership communications case studies • Information and good practice on bulky waste collections for recycling and reuse • Information and good practice on business waste collections – this builds on the work of the LA BREW centre • Dry recycling collections, co-collections, trade waste recycling centres • Update of kerbside cost modelling (Autumn)
