Local Authorities and Local Authority Site Operators
Local Authority sites are the backbone of the UK’s WEEE collection network. REPIC currently partners with hundreds of collection sites operated directly by councils or their chosen waste management partners.
We work closely with collection sites to optimise the service we provide through site visits, listening to feedback from site operatives, and thorough review meetings with the local authority or their site operator.
REPIC takes a collaborative approach to working with local authority partners. For feedback from some of our local authorities please see the testimonials section at the bottom of this page.
