- mehrdadn 7y agoIs this the percentage of residents' wastes that are placed into recycle bins, or is this the percentage of waste that would've gone into a landfill that ends up actually processed for recycling? I thought part of the problem was that not everything residents send for recycling actually ends up being recycled. Your page sounds like it's in the former category but I understood the 8% figure was in the latter... though I can't say either page is clear on this...
- youngtaff 7y agoNot entirely sure TBH but I suspect it's somewhere between the two - for example looking at some of the other data set 40%+ of what's collected is going for composting / bio gas generation. Looking at the recycling rates in a bit more depth there's also the issue of how much waste people generate in the first place for example East Riding generates just under 500Kg of waste per person, whereas Stroud generates under 300Kg waste per person
