The above | The above [[Waste Management]] methods have been grouped into the [[Recycling|Recycled]]/[[Landfill|Landfilled]]/Diverted from landfill schema to provide a summary of the [[Waste Management|waste managed]]. This schema provides the following: | ||
'''Recycled''': comprising waste prepared for reuse, recycled and organics recycled. | * '''[[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. | |||
