Available to LG Inform Plus subscribers, it provides information on what current legislation gives English and Welsh councils the power to do and what it requires them to do in law. Advanced searching and filtering options make it easy to find specific powers and duties based on legislation, business function and keyword, and results are easily exported in commonly used formats.

Total local authority collected waste recycled or composted per 1,000 households (annual) (19683) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the total local authority collected waste in tonnes recycled and composted per 1,000 households. It includes household and non-household sources sent for recycling or for centralised composting; home composting estimates are not included in this total. It also includes small amounts of materials sent for reuse. Material which was collected for recycling but actually rejected at collection, by the MRF or at the gate of a recycling reprocessor is excluded.
Data is based on figures entered by local authorities onto WasteDataFlow for each quarterly return for the financial year. WasteDataFlow is a web-based system for quarterly reporting on local authority collected waste data by local authorities to central government. It was also used by the Environment Agency for monitoring biodegradable waste sent to landfill under the Landfill Allowance Trading Scheme.
