Countywide Integrated Waste and Recycling Collection Service

The Northamptonshire Waste Partnership

Local Government is under increasing pressure to deliver real efficiencies while at the same time improving customer service. In response to this challenge, the Northamptonshire Waste Partnership (NWP) is exploring the potential savings to be gained from a more collaborative, countywide approach to waste and recycling collection services.
