INPUTS TO NORTH WEST WASTE MANAGEMENT FACILITIES

Table 1. provides a breakdown of the methods used to handle and dispose of waste in the Northwest in 1997-98. It shows the distribution of waste-related activities between the three Agency areas, and provides comparative data (where this is available) for 1996-7, in order to give some indication of trends in these activites.

1 Includes non-degradahle waste disposed of at sites licensed for both degradable and non-degradable waste. 2 The big increase shown in disposal to Lagoons and boreholes is the result of a change in the method of collecting the data; in 1997-98 the disposal weight shown includes water, in 1996-97 an estimate was made o f the solids remaining after drainage/evaporation. ^ 'Incinerated' includes waste dealt with at sites authorised under both 1PC and waste legislation 4 Data on recovery is currently only available for a limited number of sites; it is included here for indicative purposes. 5 'Metal recycling sites' provides data for licensed waste management sites only. Exempt metal recycling sites are not required to make returns

Enforcement action may arise as a result o f complaints from local authorities and other organisations, or from members of the public- All complaints are investigated and. where justified, recorded as incidents. Approprate action is then taken. This action can range from arranging for the problem to be cleared up to issuing cautions, serving notices, and prosecuting offenders. FORMER LANDFILL SITES

‘Other’ waste management activities include transfer stations, civic amenity sites, metal recovery sites, waste treatment plants, and waste storage facilities.

These activities tend to reflect the distribution of population and economi activity, showing a clear concentration in Merseyside and Greater Manchester. Summaries of waste tonnages handled at treatment plants, transfer stations, civic amenity sites, and metal recovery sites are given on pages 6 & 7; details of returns for local authority districts are included in appendix 2.
