The Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) was set up in 2000 to help recycling take off in the UK and to create a market for recycled materials. As understanding grew that 'waste' is actually 'stuff with value' and that wasting resources made no environmental or commercial sense, governments across the UK increased efforts to tackle these issues. Over the last decade, we have helped and continue to help governments devise strategies to deal with these issues through our expertise, research and practical advice. We provide support for Local Authorities to improve waste and recycling and re-use services,providing: Communications support and guidance; Collection Guides and Good practice guidelines; Guidelines for Waste Collection and recycling options for household and Commercial and Industrial Waste; information and reports concerning MRFs and Waste Prevention and Re-use information. http://www.wrap.org.uk/category/sector/local-authorities
