Waste Strategy for England 2007: Incentives for Recycling by Households

There is a link below to a summary of responses to the consultation, which gives a more detailed analysis of the views of those who responded.
Research
Defra funded a research project to examine the potential impact of waste charging in England. The project did not consider local government finance issues - for example, whether any financial incentive scheme should be revenue neutral or how it should interact with Council Tax.
