In two-tier areas, proposals should demonstrate how the two tiers of local authority will work together to deliver the targets. They make it clear that waste recycling and composting lie at the heart of delivering PFI solutions to local authority waste management problems. The criteria to be used by individual Government Departments in prioritising which schemes are to be put forward to the PRG were sent to local authorities on 9 December 1997 and revised on 21 December 1998 and 23 December 1999.

These criteria are under review. The specific criteria published today will be used by DETR in prioritising Waste schemes for putting forward to the PRG, and replace previous specific criteria for Waste schemes. The procedures and criteria relate only to projects requiring extra revenue support from central government. These criteria relate only to local authority waste PFI projects in England. Separate arrangements apply elsewhere.
