To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (1) which local authorities have now ceased weekly collections of residual household rubbish according to records held by (a) his Department and (b) Waste and Resources Action Programme across the United Kingdom; (176549)

The Waste and Resources Action Programme's (WRAP) most recent list of local authorities providing an alternate weekly collection (AWC) service is shown in the following list. Most local authorities have weekly collections, alternating collection services—one week for recyclables, one week for residual waste—but a number of scheme types exist and this includes cases where recyclables are collected every week. This list represents WRAP's best understanding at present of local authorities operating or implementing such schemes.

Any funding allocated to local authorities in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland is a devolved matter for the Scottish Parliament, the Welsh Assembly Government and the Northern Ireland Executive.

Neither DEFRA nor WRAP record the date on which individual local authorities change the frequency of waste collections.

² Trial

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what the destination was of garden waste collected from residents’ homes by each waste collection authority in Hampshire in the latest period for which figures are available. (176883)

All local authorities report the destination of their collected municipal waste to WasteDataFlow. The table shows the reported destinations of green waste or other compostable waste (both categories will include waste from gardens) sent for composting by Hampshire county council and its waste collection authorities during January to March 2007.

The destination list in WasteDataFlow that authorities can report against is populated by the Environment Agency’s lists of licensed sites. These are identified as the location (by postcode) along with the waste processor that owns the site. Some material will go to sites which are exempt from a waste management licence. These are identified as ‘Other/exempt’ in the list. In these cases, further details on the location of destination sites are not recorded.
