Welcome to the WasteDataFlow Website
What is WasteDataFlow?
WasteDataFlow is the web-based system for UK local authorities to report the waste they collect and manage to government. The system went live on
30 April 2004.
Local authorities in England and Wales also report their fly-tipping incident and enforcement action data through a separate module on the WasteDataFlow website.
If you are a local authority officer and wish to register for the site please
Contact us. Members of other organisations or the public can register here to access published data.
WasteDataFlow is designed for local authorities:
-
to allow accurate reporting of local authority collected waste data and fly-tipping data regularly and efficiently;
-
to enhance their local data management for reporting and strategic planning
purposes;
-
to offer them streamlined access to performance benchmarking with other
authorities; and
WasteDataFlow allows government:
-
to produce Official Statistics on local authority collected waste and fly-tipping;
-
to monitor progress towards national and local targets;
-
to provide an evidence base to inform future government policy;
-
to enable LAPCAP (local authority cost and performance) calculations of PackUK payments to local authorities.
How can I obtain data?
Information entered by local authorities to the individual questions on waste collected and managed in WasteDataFlow can be downloaded by the general public. Questions are
completed quarterly (annually in Scotland) and the data are made available to the public once this information has been validated by the
WasteDataFlow team and statistics have been published by government. To register for public access to data downloads click here.
Each of the UK countries produces official statistics on waste collected and managed from WasteDataFlow data and these are available from each department's website. England and Wales also produce official statistics on fly-tipping.
