Case reference FOI2022/00619
Published 8 June 2022
Request
Q1. 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.
Q2. 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?
Q3. What was the monthly cost of disposal of all waste from the Household Recycling Centres for the 24 months prior to the Covid shutdown?
Q4. 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?

Please see the attached spreadsheet. Please note that the sites were closed due to the pandemic from 24/03/2020. In April 2020, although all sites were closed, some waste was moved off site.
Q2. 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?
Please see the attached spreadsheet. Please note that the sites were reopened on a phased basis with the Hereford and Leominster Household Recycling Centres reopening 09/05/2020, Ross-on-Wye 08/06/2020 and the Bromyard, Kington and Ledbury sites reopening week commencing 06/07/ 2020. The figures for March 2022 are excluded as the service area have not received all of the data yet.
Q3. What was the monthly cost of disposal of all waste from the Household Recycling Centres for the 24 months prior to the Covid shutdown?
The data is not recorded in a way which allows the separation of the cost of disposing solely waste collected at Household Recycling Centres from the cost of the disposal of all waste collected, therefore, we do not hold the information to respond to this question.

The data is not recorded in a way which allows the separation of the cost of disposing solely waste collected at Household Recycling Centres from the cost of the disposal of all waste collected, therefore, we do not hold the information to respond to this question.
