Local Authority User Tips Government uses of this data: Information reported by local authorities in WasteDataFlow is used in a variety of ways. The accuracy and timeliness of the data is very important as it feeds into central government’s policy-making and calculations and statistics such as: – LAPCAP (local authority cost and performance) – this is where PackUK payments to local authorities are calculated. – Country and UK accredited official waste statistics. Regional Guidance: Region-specific guidance on the use of the WasteDataFlow system can be found at the following links: England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales. Fly-Tipping Module Guidance: Guidance on the use of the Fly-Tipping Module is available here.
