Moving in Greater Manchester

Resource Greater Manchester (RGM) is a partnership between WRAP and GMCA (Greater Manchester Combined Authority). Its objective is to deliver a programme that will contribute to zero waste, by improving recycling. To help achieve this objective, WRAP wanted to deliver a campaign which could address the issues with waste disposal behaviours when residents move home, by encouraging them to recycle additional waste and engage in recycling services in their new property and area. To assist them in doing this, M·E·L Research was commissioned in 2018 to identify the best times to engage with movers about recycling information and services, as well as to understand the variations between tenures, behaviours and properties.
