Shared Intelligence was commissioned by the LGA in October 2015 to carry out an evaluation of the Waste and Recycling Programme. The programme was open to English councils, and involved a mini competition of bids from councils for around £20,000 each to help develop and promote innovative approaches to waste and recycling. The funded projects each aimed to bring about efficiencies in councils’ services that could be replicable in other councils. This report sets out the findings of the evaluation.
