Inert and Non-hazardous Waste

1. Could I kindly request the latest statistics on inert and non-hazardous waste generated in your jurisdictions?

(t) stands for tonnes.

Please note: the above table excludes Hazardous Waste.

2. I would like information on the amount of inert and non-hazardous waste that is going to landfill and how much of the waste is going to waste transfer stations for processing?

Inert waste 3,618 0
Non hazardous waste 359,876 17,006

Note: Transfer station (processing) includes direct delivery to re-processors (recycling) and disposal via Energy from Waste (EfW) facilities (disposal).

(t) stands for tonnes.

3. How much of the material that is sent to waste transfer station is sold as Aggregate, and how much is disposed of which cannot be recovered?
