 What was the LAPD?
The LAPD was an innovative and successful programme, which aimed to empower Irish local authorities to promote waste prevention initiatives in their locality.
LAPD was implemented by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and was part of the Irish National Waste Prevention Programme (NWPP).
Who was involved?
The EPA implemented the LAPD and the Clean Technology Centre, CIT, were advisors to the scheme.
14 Local authorities put waste prevention programmes and projects in place as part of LAPD.
 Results of the LAPD
The results of the LAPD Programme are summarised in this 2010 report, produced by CTC.
