Household Recycling Centres

The request was successful.

Hilary Boughton

Dear Herefordshire Council,

Please can you give me the following information:

1. What are the monthly figures in tonnes for the TWO years prior to the closure during 'Covid' for waste disposal from the Herefordshire Household Recycling Centres? 'Waste' means everything that is taken to the centres for disposal, including landfill rubbish and all forms of recyclables. I don't need the figures for each centre, just the county totals for each month.

2. What are the monthly figures in tonnes for the time from when the centres reopened after the Covid shutdown to the current full month that figures are available for?

3. What was the monthly cost of disposal of all waste from the Household Recycling Centres for the 24 months prior to the Covid shutdown?

4. What was the monthly cost of disposal of all waste from the Household Recycling Centres following the reopening of the centres after the Covid shutdown?

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,

Hilary Boughton
