Collaboration Across Councils

SEP’s goals are achieved through collaborative efforts between all 12 councils in Surrey. Each council takes independent action, while also participating in larger joint projects, planned and managed by the Joint Waste Solutions (JWS) team.

JWS not only oversees Surrey-wide waste management projects but also manages waste collection for four councils in the area.
