Household Waste

Household Waste is waste from private households, usually collected by the Waste Collection Authority (WCA). The collection system may be operated directly by the WCA or on its behalf by a private contractor. Also includes Bulky Waste collected and waste deposited at HWRC sites. A new term ‘Collected Household Waste’ has recently been introduced used as to differentiate between these streams. It is defined and measured differently from Municipal Solid Waste.
