The following table contains municipal waste data derived from WasteDataFlow for the period covering the financial year 2010/11. The data shows the total household waste sent for composting or anaerobic digestion by English local authorities from April 2010 to March 2011.
There are 46 local authorities which are not included in the table as the information is not available. WasteDataFlow attributed this to a change in the councils’ status. Local authorities are listed in overall performance order.
