" Changing householder behaviour is key to driving forward waste reduction, re-use and recycling performance. The Government believes that household incentives can be an effective way to engage with householders and encourage them to manage their waste more sustainably" (Defra, 2005).Thursday September 7, 2006, Cavendish Conference Centre, London, UK PROGRAMME:
In March 2005 Defra launched a £5 million pilot study programme of local authority household incentives in England. The study set out to evaluate the effectiveness of a comprehensive range of incentive schemes, in encouraging householders to reduce, recycle and compost their waste. Defra received 94 proposals for support under the household incentive pilot schemes, many from partnerships of authorities. From these, around fifty proposals were selected, totalling around £3.5m. The pilots tested a variety of incentives, ranging from community league tables with environmental enhancements for the winning area, to pledges leading to equipment for schools, although the most popular were lottery-style prize draws. A number of the pilots used weighing technology to measure accurately the impact of incentives. The proposals tested the value of incentives on a whole range of different target populations, ranging from villages to high-rise estates, and from the highest performers (focusing on waste minimisation and reducing contamination in collected recyclables) to the lowest (focus is on encouraging participation). In total 100 districts and boroughs were involved in the pilots, as well as community groups and businesses. Consultants AEA Technology worked with the local authorities to ensure a robust framework in place for monitoring and evaluating the schemes. M·E·L Research and the University of Brighton’s Waste & Energy Research Group (WERG) tracked some of the pilot projects. Now each of these partners, together with Defra and a number of participating local authorities will gathering in London to discuss lessons learned and the way forward.
