Local authority support Direct 1:1 operational support is available but will be more focused in scope… We will continue to be a source of good practice information, case studies and benchmark data Training courses – events for 2011/12 now on the website and will be added to during the year We will continue to develop 'Recycle Now' & 'Love Food Hate Waste' and develop collateral for reuse campaigns – but our direct funding for local authority campaigns will no longer be able and advisory support will be limited.

5. 1:1 Advisory support will be available for LAs going to market to procure new collection service contracts (where any framework arrangements are not suitable) LAs not going to market, but who are planning major service changes and looking to improve their services e.g. through the addition of new materials for recycling LAs looking to enter joint working/partnership arrangements to facilitate the harmonisation of services LAs who market their own dry recyclables to obtain competitively priced contracts with reprocessors/traders

6. WRAP & iESE joint working We both provide support to local authorities We both receive funding from Defra We both have to be more focused in the future in terms of the amount and type of support we can offer LAs Therefore..
