7 November 2011
Recent statistics show that the English household recycling rate reached 41.2% between April 2010 and March 2011, an increase on the 39.7% achieved between the same time period the previous year. The data also reveals that the amount of tonnage sent by local authorities to landfill reduced by 8.8 to 11.4 million tonnes. The statistics show that household waste production has decreased with a 0.9% reduction between the financial years 2009/10 to 20010/11. The data is collected by Defra’s WasteDataFlow system, submitted by English local authorities and replace the provisional estimates published earlier in the year.
