NB Before the financial year
2001/2002, the definition of waste arisings included rubble and
bric-a-brac, but in the new definition these materials are excluded.
The following information gives statistics using the new
definitions, but where helpful, including the old definition for comparison.Waste
arisings:
Current household waste arisings have
grown from 655,474 tpa in 1995/96 to the 2001/02 figure of 811,443 tpa
(calculated using the new definition, excluding rubble and bric-a-brac).
Costs 2001/02:
Waste disposal actual costs for
2001/02 including central and capital charges were £31,144,000.
Recycling/composting:
The Project Integra recycling rate, including
composting, has risen from 7.9% in 1995/96 to 18.6% in 2001/02.
Using the old definition, including rubble and bric-a-brac, the recycling
rate rose from 8.2% in 1995/96 to 22.3% in 2001/02, reaching 25% for a
period during 2000/01. These figures are for Project Integra;
individual authorities may have higher or lower recycling rates (see
below).
The most up-to-date recycling rate for Project Integra, for the year
2002 is 21.4%.
Amounts collected for recycling 2001/2002:
The following is a breakdown of the
amounts recycled by the different parts of the system, calculated using
the new definition, excluding rubble and bric-a-brac, and also excluding
MRF reject from the kerbside recycling figures.

Household Waste Recycling Centres:
226,907 tonnes were delivered to
Household Waste Recycling Centres in the Project Integra area, in
2001/02. Of this, 69,252 tonnes were recycled or composted
(calculated by new definition)
Materials recycled:
Materials recycled in 2001/02 included,
in order of greatest amount, ferrous scrap, card, glass, paper,
non-ferrous metal, wood, batteries, textiles, oil and plastic. This
excludes 3,995 tonnes of bric-a-brac and 25,529 tonnes of rubble.
Meeting the recycling
targets
With waste growing at a rate of up
to 3% a year, the cost of disposal increasing every year and further
fiscal measures from the government likely, recycling is more important
than ever. The Government’s Guidance on Municipal Waste Management
Strategies now places an obligation on local authorities to meet higher
waste recycling targets.
The Best Value Performance Indicator targets, ( BVPIs),
range from 16% to 33% for Project Integra authorities by 2003/4 and up to
40% by 2005/6. The overall Project Integra target is 40% by 2005/06.

(NB Information provided by district/borough/city
councils)
To help achieve these targets, work has been progressing
to identify further recycling opportunities. Combined waste
composition surveys from all forms of collected and delivered household
waste have been used to identifiy the amount of different materials in the
waste stream which are not already being recycled.
From that information, it is possible to test the effect
of different recycling options on the recycling rate in each local
authority area. Options could include widening the scope of kerbside
collections, introducing more ‘bank’ sites eg for glass, textiles or
card. The information is being used to help meet the BVPI targets for
2005/06.
