Domestic Waste: Recycling

Asked by Joe RobertsonConservativeDepartment for Environment, Food and Rural AffairsTabled Answered 23 January 2025UIN 23651

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether his Department holds data produced by WRAP on the number of containers required for waste and recycling collections by each waste collection authority.

Answered by Mary Creagh

No, Defra does not hold this data. The Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) collect local authority-reported data on dry recyclable and organic waste stream collection models, which is publicly available on WRAP’s local authority data portal.
