Have a look at the DECC website now to check out some new materials and old favourites including:

• Model Waste and Recycling Collection Contract which is a tool to help councils streamline the tendering process and deliver a quality service.
• Multi Unit Dwelling (MUDs) Illegal Dumping Kit which has been developed in response to the difficulties many urban councils are experiencing with illegal dumping around MUDs.
• Education campaign materials for litter prevention such as 'Don't be a tosser'.
• Benefits of Recycling Calculator which you can use to find out how your recycling initiatives are benefiting the environment and to graph your performance and plot your progress.
