The Council currently has clear and robust arrangements in place to manage its recycling performance effectively. These arrangements include: 
• up-to-date strategic and operational plans to respond to recycling targets; 
• periodic and detailed reports aiding the Council’s understanding of its recycling service performance and benchmarking; 
• involving island residents in its efforts to drive zero waste; and 
• routine oversight of contract outcomes and spend. 
However, the Council’s ability to achieve value for money depends on how effective its interventions are in improving its recycling performance and reducing the risk of penalties.
