Places on the courses are fully funded by WRAP for recycling officers and managers from local authorities and staff from not-for-profit/community schemes or private waste management companies who are working with Local Authorities to manage, plan or promote recycling schemes.
The Programme comprises of the Recycling Managers Training Course and the Advanced course.
