[[Key Metrics]] are used to give an indicator of how an authority is performing.

The Metrics are broken down into 2 main groupings ranked and unranked. The [[Key Metric Rankings|ranked]] metrics are those which are commonly used in comparison tables between Authorities, these are consistent across the 3 governmental regions. The unranked metrics are the rest of the metrics that are reported by the relevant Governmental Authority, other than those featuring in the [[Key Metric Rankings|ranked]] table.

* The [[National Indicator]] set for [[Local Authority|Local Authorities]] was discontinued in 2012, and the performance framework they were intended to monitor does not exist any more, they are included by the Government because of popular demand.

Scottish data comes from Scotland's Environment Web <ref>[https://www.environment.gov.scot/data/data-analysis/household-waste/ Scotland's Enviroment]</ref>.

===Household Generated Waste===

Household waste generated includes waste collected by local authorities at the door ("kerbside collection"), waste from sites such as recycling collection bins at supermarkets ("Bring" sites), and waste collected from households at local authority drop-off points ("Civic amenity sites"). The amount of waste generated in a local authority is strongly dependent on factors such as the population size, so values vary widely across Scotland. The data are thus presented as total household waste generated and waste generated per person.

===Waste [[Recycling|Recycled]]/[[Landfill|Landfilled]]/Diverted from landfill===

The above [[Waste Management]] methods have been grouped into the [[Recycling|Recycled]]/[[Landfill|Landfilled]]/Diverted from landfill scheme to provide a summary of the [[Waste Management|waste managed]]. This schema provides the following:

* '''[[Recycling|Recycled]]''': comprising waste prepared for reuse, recycled and organics recycled.

* '''[[Landfill|Landfilled]]''': comprising disposed to landfill sites.

* '''Other diversion from landfill ("Other diversion")''': waste diverted from landfill, apart from waste recycled, comprising waste disposed by incineration, recovered by incineration, recovered by co-incineration and waste managed by other methods.

This schema is similar to that published by [[SEPA]] for Scotland's household waste official statistics.

===Carbon Impact===

This is a measure of the whole-life carbon impacts of waste, from resource extraction and manufacturing emissions, right through to waste management emissions, regardless of where in the world these impacts occur. The carbon impact of waste was developed by [[Zero Waste Scotland]].
