Waste and
Recycling Performance Statistics
Recycling performance figures for the Council are produced by
the amalgamation of figures from kerbside recycling collected from
your home with figures for recycling recorded at the Council's
Household Waste Recycling Centres. These figures are audited
annually and published as a recycling figure for the Council. The
latest audited figures available are for the financial year
2007/08. As Cheshire East Council only came in to being on the 1
April 2009 there are no national audited figures for Cheshire
East.
The following however gives you the combined figure for the
former Cheshire County Council and the individual figures for
the former District Councils and Household Waste Recycling Centres
of the Cheshire East area.
