Waste Strategy

How well are we performing?

 

Pembrokeshire County Council Performance	Actual 2018/19	Actual 2019/20
Levels of preparing for reuse and recycling/composting (or Anaerobic Digestion) for municipal waste.	55.6%	71.7%
BMW (Biodegradable Municipal Waste) Landfilled	8078 tonnes	2985 tonnes

Whilst this is a commendable achievement we can see that there is still much to do if we are to continue these trends and meet the targets of 2019/20 and beyond.

A financial penalty of £200/tonne is incurred if the Council fails its recycling targets.  This would have severe implications for the Council.

To fail the recycling target by just 1% would equate to approximately 700 tonnes.

The financial penalty incurred could be: 700 tonnes x £200/tonne = £140,00
