Waste policy presents one of the biggest challenges to local authorities in the North West today.EU and National waste strategies place onerous targets on local authorities for the recycling and diversion of waste from landfill.

The Landfill Directive requires the UK to reduce the volume of biodegradable waste sent to landfill to 75% of 1995 levels by 2010. By 2013, the volume must be reduced to 50% of 1995 volumes, falling to 35% by 2020.

Creation of sustainable, cost-effective services and operating within local authority budgets are Swinnerton Environmental strengths.

With our proven track record, we develop tailor made solutions for local authorities we enable to help local authorities to implement Government's National Waste Strategy with its statutory recycling targets.
