The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what data his Department holds on the proportion of household waste sent to landfill in West Dorset constituency.

Answered by Mary Creagh

Data on household waste is collected via the publicly available Waste Data Flow Portal (https://www.wastedataflow.org/). Information is submitted on a local authority basis rather than constituency. Dorset Council, which includes West Dorset, sent 4,547 tonnes of household waste to landfill (2.7% of 170,080 tonnes collected) based on the latest data covering 2022/23.
