In response to the above questions, please see the attached spreadsheet. Row 24 of the spreadsheet lists residual waste i.e. waste that was sent to recovery / landfill. So, with this information included the attached shows the total of everything that has gone through the HWRC's and from that you will be able to calculate any percentages required.
