The recording of tonnage from the following headers by local authorities in [[WasteDataFlow]] is aggregated into the household figures, as the tonnage of metals that might be extracted from [[Comingled Recyclate]] that are sorted at a [[MRF]], although these tonnages are not reported by the local authorities in [[WasteDataFlow]] as segregated metals unless the [[MRF]] provides information back to them
