In the broadest sense 'Outsourced' can be defined by the opposite to 'InHouse' such as in the context of a Waste Collection Authority it is an expression of when the services required are delivered by a third party private company that has successfully been awarded the work under competitive tendering rather than the services being undertaken by the Waste Collection Authority itself. The OutSourced arrangements can bundle with other services (i.e. beach cleaning, grounds maintenance etc) or keep different collection aspects separate (i.e the collection of Dry Recyclables may be separate from the collection of Residual Waste).

In a similar sense a Local Authority Trading Company (LATC) is a company wholly owned by a Local Authority to operate certain waste services. This is an an alternative to the OutSourcing of services to a private waste management company or the delivery of the services by an InHouse delivery team within the Authority.

Legally the Waste Collection Authority is required to periodically demonstrate that it is economically more advantageous to take an InHouse approach and if that is not possible then they should move to an OutSourced arrangement.
