<p>We use the latest industry data on the cost of collection of waste and recycling,
waste treatment and disposal. We work closely with the Waste and Resources Action
Programme (WRAP) which has strong industry links and is well placed for tracking and
revisiting the latest evidence on costs and revenues.</p><p> </p><p>In terms of costs,
one of the key sources of information is the so called gate fee price, i.e. the prices
asked by different waste and recycling industry actors to process a certain type of
material. Our latest Digest 2017, shows the latest trends in gates fees across facilities
like materials recovery facilities, energy from waste plants, anaerobic digestion
plants or landfill. There is more detail on the latest gate fee prices on WRAP’s website.</p><p>
</p><p>In terms of revenues, a key public source for material recycling revenues can
be accessed at letsrecycle.com.</p><p> </p><p>With respect to local authority costs
and revenues of waste and recycling activities, a WRAP Consistency Framework summarises
the core data in an evidence report (2016) which can be found on WRAP’S website. This
is built on detailed assessments of local authority costs of collection and treatment,
including elements like staff and non-staff costs as well as average revenues received
for sold recyclates. Further information on this is provided in the WRAP Kerbside
Analysis Tool available on Wrap’s website.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
