Defra Releases 2017/18 Top Ten Recycling Authorities in England

April 29, 2019 By Robert McQueen

Last December, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) published the latest recycling data for local authorities in England. The data covered the financial year 2017/18.

The following table reflects the top ten recycling authorities in England:

EU Targets 50% Municipal Recycling Waste by December 2020

Defra has taken to publishing financial data for local authorities annually to meet tough EU requirements, which has a 50% recycling target for municipal waste. This target requires compliance by December 2020.

The latest trends indicate an across-the-board 0.3% reduction in recycling rates – 44.8% as opposed to 45.1% previously reported. This included some improvements, although more than 60% of local authorities filed lower returns than the previous year.

As already mentioned, the table above reflects the league’s top 10 English local authorities in terms of household waste. This data is from industry watchdog ‘WasteDataFlow’ and Defra’s statistical department for the period covering the financial year 2017/18. Local authorities appear in overall performance order. We also provide the bottom 10 performers using the same criteria.

The following table reflects the bottom ten recycling authorities in England:

Fascinating Reading

League tables always make interesting reading. If properly structured they promote fairness and competition across the board. Surely, most authorities would want to improve their ranking going forward. All said and done, a trophy of some kind beats the wooden spoon!

Our House Clearance Services

We provide a full house clearance and property management solution:

  • We clear hoarded houses, regardless how big or how cluttered
  • We clear all types and sizes of property, irrespective of location, or access is restricted or where parking is difficult or not available.
  • We can help avoid water damage by draining the central heating system.
  • We can secure the property and change the locks.
  • We can reinstate the gardens and maintain them whilst the property is empty.
  • We can provide 24 hour security to eliminate the risk of squatting or unlawful occupation.

As well normal house clearances we specialise in clutter clearance and we can clear a hoarded house which may contain years of accumulated possessions, or which have abnormal amounts of general household items, sometimes as a result of compulsive hoarding syndrome.

Equally we can help to clear a property where the occupants were previously unwell and unable to care for themselves or their property which sometimes results in insanitary, dangerous or just plain unpleasant conditions.
