Our focus is on collection and re-processing issues. 

On some of the larger websites, such as DEFRA, reports can sometimes disappear deep into the site making them hard to find.

We have selected the best reports on collection but there are always extra reports out there.  If you know of a reliable piece of research we might find of use please contact us.  We are particularly interested in local authority experience of source separated systems.
