In WD4 how is commercial waste managed?

In any area there are a range of authorities and commercial waste companies set up to carry out waste management activities, in WD4 it is Veolia ES UK to deal with waste more efficiently on behalf of the council, however because the cost vs the service levels are more effectively spent with a private operator most choose to turn to a private commercial waste company.

Work needs to be done as a recycling rate of 48.96%, which is relatively low, other European areas, we should be aiming to get to 60%+. Sending 51.04% of waste to landfill needs improving, whilst £708,876.00 is a substantial amount for the local authorities in WD4 to spend on public waste management annually, however if divided by 11,252; the population of WD4 then it is only £63 per individual, which considering we need to improve could more money be allocated to public waste processing?
