Based on local authority responses to WasteDataFlow during 2006-07, the average reject rate reported by local authorities in England for collected municipal recyclate waste being sent to a material recycling facility was 7 per cent. With regard to material sent for recycling, but disposed of in a non-recycled manner, tonnages are not available as local authorities only have a duty to report recycling rejects up to the gate of the reprocessor, at which point it is deemed to be sent for recycling.
