  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nArticle 10 of and Schedule 8 to the Local Government (Best Value) Performance Indicators and Performance Standards Order 2003 (“the 2003 Order”) sets statutory waste performance standards for all best value waste collection authorities and waste disposal authorities in England. These standards relate to the recycling and composting rates that authorities must achieve for the two financial years beginning with 1st April 2003 and 1st April 2005. The standards are based on the rate achieved during the financial year beginning with 1st April 1998.\nThis amending Order excepts certain authorities from these general standards and instead specifies specific standards. This reflects pooling arrangements between groups of authorities whereby the collective target remains the same or is increased, whilst the individual target for each authority may vary from that originally set under the general standards specified in the 2003 Order. This arrangement does not affect the duty on each authority to meet its own individual standard pursuant to section 4(5) of the Local Government Act 1999 (c. 27).\nThe document “Municipal Waste Management Strategies”, which is referred to in article 10(2), was published by the DETR on 1st March 2001. It is available at www.defra.gov.uk/environment/waste/management/guidance/mwms/01.htm.",
