Local Authorities

The relationship between local authorities and producer compliance schemes is a critical one.

For local authorities, choosing the right scheme with the right experience delivers effective recycling services and significant environmental benefits.

Over 60 local authorities serving over 20% of the UK population have chosen ERP to provide their WEEE collection and treatment services and we are now partnering with these and other local authorities for battery collections.
