• Workforce – Sickness rates, Social/physical distancing, Cleaning, redeploying staff from other frontline services
• Service delivery – changes to services – reduction in food and garden waste
• HWRCs – closure / changes to operations / opening times
• Fly tipping and litter – Incidences of fly tipping
• Treatment and Disposal – Availability of treatment and disposal
• Resident behaviour – Panic buying and changes to waste composition
