“To inform, advise, consult and represent our membership on the waste reduction and recycling issues within local authorities within the United Kingdom”

Through:

• Advocacy;

• Provision of information;

LARAC aims to work for the benefit of its members by raising the profile of local authority waste management and waste managers in the United Kingdom.

This is achieved by:

• providing a consistent and coherent voice to Government and the European Union on matters that affect our members;

• working in close partnership with other organisations and bodies that share similar aims and values to LARAC;

• educating and lobbying key opinion formers and policy-makers;

• ensuring that information is shared and fully understood amongst LARAC members and

• Developing strategic alliances with organisations of mutual benefit to deliver additional services such as tailor-made training for local authority waste managers and high quality conferences.
