Back in 2015 Barnsley MBC recycled 52.2% of its waste, landfilled 8.3%,
and incinerated 35.7%.
By 2023 incineration had increased by 1.3 percentage points to
37%.
Recycling decreased over the same period by 9.2
percentage points to 43%. In 2023 2% of waste was landfilled.
There are currently 16 years left on a contract with Renewi. The total
contract value is £750m.
Notes:
-
Figures do not always add up to 100% as there is a fourth ‘other’
category.
-
In some cases figures total over 100% as it may include waste from
the previous year.
-
Rounding may also lead to some percentage changes being slightly
higher or lower than the difference between the two figures: in this
situation please check
the full spreadsheet for more detailed figures.
-
Some annual returns in Scotland are incomplete comparing 2014 and
2022. This is because, at some authorities, data on incineration was not
collected back in 2014. Other authorities have also not submitted an
annual return for 2022 in the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency
(SEPA) data.
