* Other household sources, refers to Schedule 2 wastes under the [[Controlled Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2012|Controlled Waste Regulations 1992]]; those from household sources not collected as part of the ordinary waste collection round service.

* [[Civic Amenity Site|Civic Amenity Sites]] refers to [[Household Waste|household waste]] collected at sites provided by [[Local Authority|Local Authorities]] for the [[Disposal|disposal]] of excess [[Household Waste|household]] and [[Garden Waste|garden waste]] free of charge, as required by the [[Refuse Disposal (Amenity) Act 1978]].

It includes [[Non-Household Municipal Waste|non-household]] material which was collected for [[Recycling]] but actually [[Rejects|rejected] at collection or at the gate of a [[Recycling]] [[Reprocessor]].

* [[Non-Household Municipal Waste|Non-household]] [[Recycling]] includes municipally collected materials for recycling from commercial sources. It excludes material which was collected for recycling from non-household sources but actually rejected at collection or at the gate of a recycling [[Reprocessor]].

Regular household collection' means wastes within Schedule 1 of the [[Controlled Waste Regulations 1992|Controlled Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2012]]. Small amounts of [[Commercial and Industrial Waste|commercial and industrial]] wastes may also be included in the case of collections that include mixed domestic and commercial hereditaments. Wherever possible, these wastes are included in ‘Non-household sources’. Regular household collection tonnages also include household material which was collected for recycling or composting but rejected as not suitable for recycling, either at collection, during sorting at a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) or at the gate of the reprocessor.

'Other household sources' refers to Schedule 2 wastes under the [[Controlled Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2012|Controlled Waste Regulations 1992]] ~ those from household sources not collected as part of the ordinary waste collection round service.

'Civic Amenity Sites' refers to household waste collected at sites provided by local authorities for the disposal of excess household and garden waste free of charge, as required by the Refuse Disposal (Amenity) Act 1978.

'Non household sources (excl. recycling)' includes any wastes collected by a local authority from non-household sources (i.e. not covered by 'Schedules 1 and 2 of the controlled Waste Regulations 1992). It includes non-household material which was collected for recycling but actually rejected at collection or at the gate of a recycling reprocessor.

'Non household recycling’ includes municipally collected materials for recycling from commercial sources. It excludes material which was collected for recycling from non-household sources but actually rejected at collection or at the gate of a recycling reprocessor.

~~Figures for Waste Disposal Authorities include all waste collected for recycling or disposal by the WDA and their constituent waste collection authorities.~~

~~A total for England cannot be obtained by summing data from all local authorities - data for Waste Collection Authorities must be excluded to avoid double counting.~~

~~Totals in Table 1 are based on collected Local Authority collected waste.~~
