Performance Benchmarking

We believe that when benchmarking against other services you should, as far as possible,  compare like with like. Delivering a recycling service to an inner city area is significantly different to a sparsely populated area and needs to be benchmarked accordingly.

We provide a service that enables you to benchmark your performance in key areas against other rural authorities and your family authorities.

Family authorities are those with which you share similar characteristics.

We often provide in year analysis which enables you to understand your performance ahead of year end to assess how well you are doing.

We currently provide analysis in 4 areas:
