Is WRAP right to favour source-segregated collections over co-mingled?

Is WRAP right to favour source-segregated collections over co-mingled?

Yes, kerbside sorting offers better quality
It's a contentious issue and WRAP should remain neutral
No, co-mingled is cheaper and boosts recycling rates

I think people would like to make recycling simpler. So we have to make it easy and simple for them. Co-mingled collections are the best way to do this.

By Mike Tregent
Whilst not a one size fits all solution, source-segregation provides the best quality recyclate and should reduce unecessary sorting and handling. This should reduce capital and running costs, especially if the collection fleet uses green fuel.

By Chris Jones
Whilst you have two-tier authorities with the waste collection authority only looking at collection costs, co-mingled will remain more attractive as a cheaper collection method.
