Figures for Kirklees Metropolitan Borough Council are calculated from data held in the WasteDataFlow web portal and are shown below. From 2015/16 disposal and treatment data was reported under a new question structure and figures for earlier years may contain inconsistencies. The tonnage of waste sent for energy recovery has also been shown in the table to add context to the figures.
