Waste Collection Authorities: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 10:39, 16 November 2021

The Waste Collection Authority (WCA) is responsible for the collection of Household Waste in its area. The collection of the waste and delivery of the day to day service itself can be by InHouse or OutSourced arrangements or by a LATCs organisation.

There are three types of arrangements for the delivery of the Waste Collection Authority and Waste Disposal Authority responsibilities:

In a 'two-tier' Local Authority administration, the Waste Collection Authority is the District Council and the Waste Disposal Authority is the County Council. In this situation the parties have to agree how material will be collected for the other party to treat and dispose of the waste, and financial recompense for more expensive collection approaches which benefit the Waste Disposal Authority. These are often acknowledged through the payment of Recycling Credits to the Waste Collection Authority.
In a 'single-tier' authority administration, such as a Metropolitan Borough or Unitary Authority, the Waste Collection Authority and Waste Disposal Authority are combined.
In some areas there are Formal Partnership arrangements between Local Authorities. These arrangements can vary in the level of integration from a simple working agreement, through to a combined service delivery acting in the same way as a 'single-tier' authority.

Local Authorities have been broken down into regional groups to make it easier to find an individual authority.
