The ID numbers refer to the map on this page, with the 'EFW ID' in the last table referring to the corresponding ID in the [[Residual Waste EFW]] listing. More detailed information is available on each site by clicking through to the site specific page (which are being progressively added in to WikiWaste over time) from the tables below: | ||
