Waste arisings:
Household waste arisings for 2007/08 were 887,000 tonnes per annum.

Recycling/composting:
The Project Integra recycling rate, including composting, has risen from 7.9% in 1995/96 to 37.2% in 2006/07. A further 49.9% that could not be recycled was sent for energy recovery to convert it to electricity.

District performance:

(NB Information provided by district/borough/city councils as per data provided on their own websites. Figures can also be obtained by visiting the national WasteDataFlow website and registering.)

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 identify 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 e.g. for glass, textiles or card. The information is being used to help meet the BVPI targets for 2007/08.

These statistics are subject to audit.
