Local authority annual reports
SEPA produces an annual report on the waste
collected by, or on behalf of, every local authority in
Scotland. Each report provides comprehensive information on
municipal waste arisings, recycling and composting, and disposal
during the relevant financial year. Additionally, an overall
Scotland report is produced.
The data for the reports are currently
obtained from WasteDataFlow. Prior to 2006/2007, they were
gathered by SEPA’s Local Authority Waste Arisings Survey.
From 2006/2007, the layout of the reports for
municipal and other wastes changed; this should be considered when
comparing data with previous years.
The full definition of municipal waste and any exceptions are
given in Scottish Government guidance (see opposite).
