==History== | ==History== | ||
The | The Dunbar facility was built to service Scotland's residual [[Household Waste]] and [[Commercial Waste]] and includes [[RDF]] from its contract with [[Clyde Valley]] in May 2016 which processes 190,000 tonnes per annum via [[Viridor]]'s [[Bargeddie]] site in North Lanarkshire (which opened in January 2020). It is located in East Lothian on [[Viridor]]'s [[Landfill]] site which is due to close with the operation of the facility, which commenced in January 2019. | ||

==Local Authority Data== | |||
The [[Residual EfW]] pages for sites located in England and Wales capture the data reported by Local Authorities, through [[WasteDataFlow]], received at those sites. In Scotland this data is not reported, meaning that the destination in [[WasteDataFlow]] is not defined and the origin in the regulator returns for a facility receiving the tonnage is also not reported (resulting in a 'NA' in the table in the section below). As a result it is not possible to report for Scottish sites in the same way as other sites in WikiWaste. | |||
