The revised Levy Allocation Methodology Agreement
(LAMA) is approved.

Reasons for the decision

Manchester councils (with the exception of Wigan MBC) and the
Greater Manchester Combined Authority, the waste disposal authority
has been updated to mitigate any potential additional costs falling
on councils that are not charging for garden waste collections. It

implementation of Simpler Recycling by the Government.

elected member for Environmental Services and Neighbourhoods and
the elected Member for Finance and Resources have been consulted
and approve the revised agreement.
