Dear Jim Henderson

Freedom of Information Act 2000
Ref: FOI 101001031930 Waste and Recycling
I refer to your email dated 13 December 2018, concerning release of detail
under the Freedom of Information Act.

Please could you give me a breakdown of what happens to my
rubbish/recycling currently (not what happened in previous years but what
happens now), specifically:

How is the rubbish (green bin) disposed of?
This is sent to the Energy Recovery Facility and incinerated.

How is the recycling (blue bin) recycled? What percentage is recycled (and
into what) and what percentage is disposed of in other ways (e.g. land
fill or incinerated or shipped abroad)?
This is taken to a Materials Recovery Facility. – 2017/18 97.8% of the
blue bin recycling was recycled back into resources, i.e. paper, card,
metals and plastics. 8.2% was contamination and sent for energy recovery.

How much of the garden waste (brown bin) is composted? What happens to the
compost?

All of the contents of the brown bin is composted. This is then used on
local farmers fields.

If you are not satisfied with this response, you may contact the Council's
Freedom of Information Officer at the above address or at
[1][Cherwell District Council request email]. If you are still not satisfied with the
Council’s response you are advised to contact the Information Commissioner
directly at the Information Commissioners Office, Wycliffe House, Water
Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF or on [2][email address]. Under
Section 50 of the Act you may apply to the Commissioner for a decision as
to whether your request for information has been dealt with in accordance
with the requirements of Part I of the Act.

Yours sincerely
