Third sector focus away from Kerbside Collections.

News Category: 
Sector News

Community recycling groups are operating "fewer kerbside collections" as more and more private sector waste management companies add the service to local authority contracts, members of the third sector have claimed, writes Chris Sloley.
And, speaking to letsrecycle.com, representatives of the community sector claimed that there had been some "rationalising" in the sector, leading to a number of projects either stopping, heading towards closure or being amalgamated into other ventures.
They claimed that community groups were increasingly turning to running other reuse and recycling initiatives to compensate for waste management and recycling companies taking over the kerbside collections which had previously been run by third sector organisations.
