Challenges in alternative waste collection and treatment methods, increasing disposal costs through the Landfill Tax and rising customer expectations mean that local authorities need to become more efficient and the WRMP helps to support and deliver these changes. The work within the WRMP theme is made up of 17 projects and these are managed through four programmes: * Programme 1 –Officer and Member Capacity Building * Programme 2 – Service Delivery * Programme 3 – Strategic Support waste-resource-management If you would like further information about Waste Resource Management projects, or to get involved, please view the individual projects and contact the project manager or email david.greenfield@southeastiep.gov.uk. theme 2009-10-29T10:00:52+00:00
