This guide is for waste managers from London Boroughs and Waste Disposal Authorities (“Waste Authorities”) who are considering conducting a Waste Composition Analysis (WCA) and takes ‘the buyer’ (waste authority) through the process from beginning to end to ensure that requirements of the WCA are thoroughly considered to obtain the best possible data.
This buyer’s guide aims to help Waste Authorities obtain high quality compositional data, which can be compared and aggregated across London, and includes step by step information on the processes of planning, commissioning, managing and quality assuring a WCA study. The guide relates to household waste and recycling collected from kerbside properties and purpose built flats, and considers the most common types of WCA, where results are intended to be representative of a whole Borough or waste disposal authority area. This guide does not cover material collected at Household Waste and Recycling Centres (HWRCs), litter, street sweepings or trade waste.
Any waste authority in London considering using this guide can contact ReLondon directly to discuss their requirements.
