The Local Government Association (LGA) has warned there is no ‘one size fits all approach' to waste collection, following a £250m fund announcement by the Government.

Responding to the announcement of successful bids for money from the Department for Communities and Local Government's waste collections fund, the chairman of the LGA's environment board, Cllr Mike Jones, said: ‘What matters most to people is that their waste is collected in a reliable, efficient way.'
