Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Benyon on 26 September (HL2150), how many local authorities in England provide residual waste collections; and of this number, how many do so on a three weekly collection cycle.
All waste collection authorities in England (307) collect residual waste from households. According to latest WRAP data, there are 10 waste collection authorities in England where the predominant residual waste collection frequency is 3-weekly (meaning at least 50% of households receive this service).
