Household waste sent for green recycling/reuse (annual) (8254) Metric type
- Help text
- Household waste sent for green recycling/reuse in tonnes (annual) is taken from the Local Authority Collected and Household Waste Statistics.
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.
Regular household collection' means wastes within Schedule 1 of the Controlled Waste Regulations 1992. Small amounts of commercial and industrial wastes may also be included in the case of collections that include mixed domestic and commercial hereditaments. Wherever possible, these wastes are included in 'Non-household sources'. Regular household collection tonnages also include household material which was collected for recycling or composting but rejected as not suitable for recycling, either at collection, during sorting at a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) or at the gate of the reprocessor.
'Household recycling' contains materials sent for recycling, composting or reuse by local authorities as well as those collected from household sources by 'private/voluntary' organisations. Figures for Waste Disposal Authorities include all waste collected for recycling or disposal by the WDA and their constituent waste collection authorities.
