Monksleigh

Monksleigh is a management consultancy that specialises in the waste and associated resource management sectors. We are unique in that our experience is grounded in both the public and private sectors, and built from a practical and commercial perspective.

Organisations

There are multiple Organisations involved in managing waste in the UK, influencing policy and enforcing guidance and legislation.

At this time WikiWaste has populated a large amount of detail related to Local Authorities allowing them to compare performance and ranking according to a range of metrics that have been assembled, with the anticipation that editors will add detail over time. We also hope that Local Authorities will take the opportunity to manage their information and use it to answer Freedom of Information requests and that ultimately members of the public will use it to find what happens to their waste. The main sub-sections of the Organisations category are:

Data for the Authorities listed here comes from © WasteDataFlow and/or database right. English, Welsh and Northern Irish data for the Financial Year 2021/22; Scottish data for the Calendar Year 2021.

Acronyms

The waste industry is packed with Acronyms that often make it difficult to understand – this index will allow you to find the acronym that’s bothering you and by selecting it will automatically link to the page with full wording.

Typing the acronym into the search box will also link to the relevant page.

Arrangements

Arrangements sets out the different ways waste is collected by Waste Collection Authorities, which in turn allows the authority that uses such an arrangement to be captured as an index. The section also captures broader arrangements for the delivery of waste management including i.e. InHouse, OutSourced and LATCs arrangements.

Economics

The most significant economic drivers of the market are covered at this stage in WikiWaste, including the subsidies that are presently ‘pulling’ activity and the Landfill Tax which is ‘pushing’; activity, but it is hoped that it will grow to include Gate Fee and commodity pricing if there is an appetite for this from users of WikiWaste.

Legislation & Policy

Waste policy and legislation has been driven primarily by the European Union for over 20 years for adoption into UK Legislation and policies, so this index lists the current relevant legislation and policies relevant to the UK – which has become more complex as England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales increasingly take more control over their destinies for waste and recycling.

Targets & Metrics

Those pages with key targets or metrics included within them are grouped into this category for easy access and reference.

Technologies & Solutions

Infrastructure to manage waste and recyclable materials can sometimes be difficult to understand. Current and emerging technologies are captured, with some more detail on some technologies in this version of WikiWaste – the opportunity will be to link to expand upon sections and add specific pages for specific sites in the future. The main sub-sections of the Technology & Solutions page are:

Tonnages & Waste Types

The range of waste descriptions and types of waste are captured in this index, including specific pages on the overall scope of the market, tonnages and different types of waste.
