Illustration for Waste Minimisation Act 2008

When two or more territorial authorities work together, they can make a joint waste management and minimisation plan. This plan is for the whole or parts of their areas. If they do this, the rules in sections 43 and 44 still apply to them, but with some changes to make it work for their joint plan. You can think of territorial authorities as the councils that manage your local area.
