Household Waste Recycling Rates, Borough

Description

[Table](https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/londondatastore-upload/household-recycling-borough.xls) shows the proportion of collected household waste which is recycled or composted. Figures for 2004/5 were taken from the London Councils organisation as the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) do not list complete LA level statistics for this year. From 1998/99 to 2003/04 estimates for household waste recycling (including composting) rates are based on data supplied to the annual DEFRA Municipal Waste Management Survey. From 1998/99 to 2001/02 figures revised since previous publication. Recycling/composting rates for 1998-99 were first published in Annex A of "Guidance in Municipal Waste Management Strategies" published by DEFRA in March 2001 and 1999/00 rates in Annex B of the consultation paper on "Distribution of the £140 Million Waste Minimisation and Recycling Fund", available from http://www.defra.gov.uk/environment The recycling rate is calculated as set out below. For Waste Collection Authorities (WCA) and Unitary Authorities (UA): X/Y x 100, where: X = Tonnage of household waste collected by the WCA or UA which is sent for recycling/composting (including private/voluntary collections of household waste for recycling) Y = Total tonnage of household waste collected by the WCA or UA (including private/voluntary collections of household waste for recycling) For Waste Disposal Authorities (WDA): X/Y x 100, where: X = Tonnage of household waste collected by the WDA which is sent for recycling plus tonnage of household waste which is sent for recycling by the constituent WCAs (including private/voluntary collections of household waste for recycling) Y = Total tonnage of household waste collected at Civic Amenity sites by the WDA plus total tonnage of household waste collected by constituent WCAs (including private/voluntary collections of household waste for recycling) Annual Results for Local authority collected waste management published by are available [here](https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/local-authority-collected-waste-management-annual-results"Annual Results for Local authority collected waste management").
