Every council reports its bin data quarterly: tonnes collected, tonnes recycled, tonnes to landfill. Defra publishes the per-council results annually. Join it to what each council spends on waste (Revenue Outturn, RO5 lines) and you get cost per tonne — the cleanest like-for-like efficiency measure in the sector. This dataset holds tonnages only; the money side lives in dataset 01.
