9.3.1. Project Integra in Hampshire
Project Integra is a partnership working to provide an integrated approach to
the collection, treatment <strong>and</strong> disposal of municipal waste in Hampshire. This
covers around 740,000 households <strong>and</strong> over 800,000 tons of waste a year.
The project originates back to the early 1990s when the need to move away
from the l<strong>and</strong>filling of most waste was recognized. The approach developed in
Hampshire was one of partnership between the 14 local authorities in the area
<strong>and</strong> plans for change were developed together. This way of working continues
to this day <strong>and</strong> the partnership is now joined by the private company that
secured the long-term disposal contract. ( Hampshire County council., 2009)
