Oxfordshire Waste Partnership
Formed in 2003 Oxfordshire Waste Partnership (OWP) works to reduce waste, increase reuse, recycling and composting and minimise the environmental impacts of waste.
Since April 2007, OWP has operated as statutory Joint Committee, meaning that the partner councils have made a legally binding commitment to work together on waste management issues.
The partnership is made up of the five district councils (responsible for waste collection) and the county council (responsible for waste disposal).
Roles and responsibilities
OWP agreed a Joint Municipal Waste Management Strategy in January 2007. This outlines plans and targets for dealing with Oxfordshire's municipal waste through to 2030, including:
As a minimum, a recycling and composting rate of at least:
- 40% of household waste by 2010
- 45% of household waste by 2015
- 55% of household waste by 2020
Working to reduce and reuse waste at home, school, work and in the community.
Building new waste facilities to recover value from non-recyclable waste.
Working together to ensure that new waste facilities are built in suitable locations.
Improving waste management services by working together through the Oxfordshire Waste Partnership and with others.
