Waste 

This project area is building on the work of the Joint Waste Committee and exploring options for further integration of waste operations acrross the five Pathfinder partners.

Work has been completed to develop an outline business case that has identified improved collaboration and joint procurement at the District Council level as the first step.

Further work is being completed on the benefits of vertical integration with the County Council. 

Within scope

• The waste management functions of the five Buckinghamshire authorities.
• These include the core functions that will form part of a "Joint Waste Authority" (JWA) as well as ancillary functions that will be subject to review during the project and may be included in the JWA or addressed through other methods of enhanced two tier working.
• The core and ancillary functions are set out in the Joint Improvement Board (JIB) report dated 26 July 2007.

Out of scope

• The Strategic Planning Function of waste will remain with the County Council.
• Other ancillary functions which are currently managed through waste service staff such as public toilet cleansing and markets management.
