Partnership Background

Devon Authorities Recycling Partnership is the public name for the Devon Authorities Waste Reduction and Recycling Committee, which has a long history of successful partnership, working within the county.

The committee has a membership of 11 authorities across Devon including Devon County Council, eight District Authorities and two Unitary Authorities. The committee funds and supports county-wide initiatives which aim to reduce, reuse, recycle and compost waste in Devon. They include:

• Devon Community Recycling Network
• Devon Community Composting Network
• Real Nappy Campaign
• Furniture Reuse payments
• Devon Authorities Website
• Exhibitions at the Devon County Show
• Waste Education
• 'Don't let Devon go to waste' campaign

Don’t let Devon go to waste' is a county-wide, multi-faceted marketing campaign which represents the partnership.
The campaign commenced in October 2002 when an all-embracing study of waste arising and public attitudes in conjunction with an advertising and public relations campaign resulted in a step change in attitudes to waste and levels of recycling in Devon.

Since that time the campaign has gone from strength to strength and has contributed to Devon achieving a 55% recycling rate and significant reductions in the amount of waste sent to landfill.
