Recycling Rates
Below are tables that summarise gains made in recent years in diverting waste from landfill through recycling, composting, and reuse. The figures in these tables refer to the proportion of total local authority collected municipal waste being sent for recycling and composting (and reuse starting in 2012-2013). The data come from Northern Ireland's Department of the Environment municipal waste reports. Since the mid-2000s, local councils in Northern Ireland have been required to report data on municipal waste arisings on a quarterly basis. The table below contains information for the 26 councils that existed prior to the reorganisation of local government in 2015. ==See also==
