Local authority waste Reduction and Recycling Plans (RRPs) outline key actions for minimizing waste and boosting recycling in London. The RRPs are used to drive local activity and help achieve the Mayor's London-wide targets to cut food waste by 50% per person and achieve 65% municipal waste recycling by 2030. The dataset is provided by the Greater London Authority and was last updated in March 2026.
