2011 Waste Data Tables

Notes

waste data section of SEPA's web site

The 2011 Waste Data Tables replace the annual Waste Data Digest, Key Facts and Trends, and Zero Waste Plan data tables. They are an interim publication, with all data to be published in an interactive format from July 2014. For household waste only, the interactive publication will commence in October 2013.

This document refers to two main sources of waste - waste from households and waste from all sources. These datasets are derived from distinctly different data sources, with limitations inherent in the collection and analyses of data from each source. This may in some cases produce perceived inconsistencies between the two datasets. Please refer to the accompanying quality report for sources of data, collection method, data preparation, and limitations associated with the dataset. The quality report may be found on the

All the data in this document is for the calendar year. SEPA does not maintain or publish financial year data for waste.Unless otherwise stated, recycled means the sum of waste recycled, reused and composted.A value of "-" means no tonnages were reported or data is not available
