The Waste Management Levy Allocation Methodology Agreement (LAMA) is the agreed method by which the costs attached to the Operating contract (primarily the acceptance, processing and disposal of residual waste, recyclables, pulpables, and green waste) are distributed between the constituent Districts.

A decision to enter into the LAMA was agreed at the Council Meeting on 30 November 2017 and authority to agree minor amendments and enter into the agreement was delegated to the Corporate Director for Place Management and Regeneration, the Borough Treasurer and Head of Legal Services in consultation with the Leader of the Council and the Cabinet Member for Communities and Housing (now Sustainable Stockport).

The Corporate Director for Place Management and Regeneration, the Borough Treasurer and Head of Legal Services, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Sustainable Stockport have now given approval to the draft of the agreement appended to the report (including the amendments detailed in Section 2.2 of the report) and have accepted this as the new agreement between Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council, the Greater Manchester Combined Authority and the constituent Districts.
