Leicestershire Resources and Waste Strategy 2022 - 2050

This document is the Leicestershire Resources and Waste Strategy (LRWS) for the Leicestershire Waste Partnership (LWP). The partnership comprises Leicestershire County Council (the Waste Disposal Authority) and the seven Leicestershire Waste Collection Authorities (the district and borough councils). Leicester City Council manages its waste via separate arrangements as a Unitary Authority. This LRWS is an update to the Leicestershire Municipal Waste Management Strategy which has been in place since 2002 and was reviewed and updated in 2006 and 2011 respectively. The LRWS describes the recycling and waste management services which will be delivered by the LWP up to 2050. The Strategy sets outs:

The policy framework - the current and future context for resources and waste management, considering local issues e.g. air quality, and global issues including carbon reduction/greenhouse gas reduction and climate change.

The vision, aims, and objectives - what the LWP wants to achieve in terms of resources and waste management.

Strategy delivery - how resources and waste will be managed to achieve the aims and objectives, through the services provided by the LWP to its residents and communities.
