The official \u2018waste from households\u2019 recycling rate for 2017 is 45.7% for the UK and 45.2% for England.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government does not have published \u2018waste from households\u2019 recycling rates for individual local authorities. Instead another metric, \u2018households\u2019 recycling, is available, which has a slightly broader scope with some differences in the materials which are counted as recycling.<\/p>
<\/p>
The county council acts as the disposal authority, while the other councils are the collection authority.<\/p>
