2021 Waste Data Interrogator

2021 Waste Data Interrogator

Summary

Three resources are available on this record for 2021:

an excel data extract of wastes received at permitted sites
an excel data extract of waste removed from permitted sites
summary tables for England and the former planning regions (in open document spreadsheet format)

We no longer publish the Waste Data Interrogator in MS Access.

All operators of regulated waste management facilities have to provide us with details of the quantities and types of waste they deal with i.e. waste received into site and waste sent on from site to other facilities or processes. This data is used to monitor compliance but has historically been used by DEFRA and local authorities to assist in planning for new waste facilities and for monitoring against statutory targets. We have provided this data in an interrogatable format since 2006. The dataset is calendar year and holds the data from around 6,000 regulated sites. Operator waste returns are public register information unless a claim for commercial confidentiality has been accepted. In these cases the data is provided but the site details are not. This is so that the data can be included in aggregated figures but cannot be attributed to a particular site. Data supplied does not include details of waste producers

INFORMATION WARNING Details of operators who have claimed commercial confidentiality are not provided
