Waste

This request has been withdrawn by the person who made it. There may be an explanation in the correspondence below.

Dear North London Waste Authority,

I am requesting this information in accordance with the freedom of information act 2000(c.36)

How much waste is taken to landfill?
How much of that waste is recycled?
Have these numbers increased or decreased within the past 5 years?
What is being done to reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfill?

Thank you for your time and patience in this matter and I look forward to reviewing the above data.

Yours faithfully,

Jake Robinson

Dear North London Waste Authority,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of North London Waste Authority's handling of my FOI request 'Waste'.

I am still waiting for a response.

Yours faithfully,

Jake Robinson

Herridge Barbara, North London Waste Authority

Dear Jake

 

We have received your request for an internal review of our handling of
your request mentioned above. Unfortunately this request was not logged on
our system with the result that because it wasn’t logged it wasn’t flagged
up as due for a response or that it was overdue. I have found the request
now however, and it is being handled under the Environmental Information
Regulations (EiR) 2004 and has been allocated the reference number
2017-24[1]^[1].

 

You asked for information relating to:

 

How much waste is taken to landfill?

How much of that waste is recycled?

Have these numbers increased or decreased within the past 5 years?

What is being done to reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfill?

 

 

Our Annual Monitoring Report provides all this information and is publicly
and freely available here:
[2]http://www.nlwa.gov.uk/governance-and-ac...

 

The report for 2016/17 will be published within the next couple of weeks
and will also be available at the above link too. This will show that our
waste to landfill has further decreased to 8% of the total.

 

I am sorry for this omission in logging your request, and will take steps
to ensure that this does not occur in future.  If you would still like an
internal review conducted, please do let me know and please don’t hesitate
to come back to us if you have any further queries.

 

^[1] Given the nature of our activities and the fact that environmental
information is interpreted quite broadly we now generally answer
information requests under the Environmental Information Regulations
rather than the Freedom of Information Act. Further detail is available
