Local authority collected waste management - annual results
Source: gov.uk (2025-03-27)

Provisional annual results for local authority collected waste generation and management for England.

This publication covers annual estimates for waste collected by local authorities in England and the regions. These statistics are based on data submitted by all local authorities in England to WasteDataFlow (http://www.wastedataflow.org/) on the waste they collect and manage.

The methodology and recycling explainer documents give background and context to this statistical notice, accompanying datasets and the waste and recycling measures they present.

There is also a further historical note on the definition of local authority collected waste (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/local-authority-collected-waste-definition-of-terms) relating to earlier releases.

The entire raw dataset is available in CSV format and can be found here: WasteDataFlow - Local Authority waste management - data.gov.uk (https://www.data.gov.uk/dataset/0e0c12d8-24f6-461f-b4bc-f6d6a5bf2de5/wastedataflow-local-authority-waste-management)
