Illustration for Waste Minimisation Act 2008

When you are looking at how a territorial authority makes decisions about waste, you need to know that they have to follow the Local Government Act 2002. You will see that the territorial authority has to do what the Local Government Act 2002 says when they are making decisions about waste. If there is a conflict between what the Waste Minimisation Act 2008 says and what the Local Government Act 2002 says, the Waste Minimisation Act 2008 is more important.
