This report provides an overview of the different organisations and an analysis of the local performances of 135 waste collection systems across Europe. It highlights the great diversity of collection systems, with many different sorting systems and combination of collection modes (door-to-door, bring bank, combined, etc.).

This report is a publication of the ACR+ Waste Observatory whose objective is to allow consistent comparisons among local and regional authorities, in order to provide benchmark on municipal waste management and identify effective waste strategies enabling quality recycling. Data analysed have been collected in the framework of the H2020 COLLECTORS project that aims at identifying good practices to improve the quantity of sorted municipal waste leading to high quality recycling.
