Household Waste Recycling Centres Report July 2026

In your report on Household Waste Recycling Centres of the 14th July 2026 (https://lincolnshire.moderngov.co.uk/documents/s74610/HWRC%20Operational%20Changes.pdf) you reference "a conservative 20% reduction in waste tonnage".



1) Can you please provide all electronically held information and methodology that was used to come up with this figure.

1) The Council does not hold any separate recorded methodology document, calculation model, analysis paper, or other electronically held information that specifically derives the 20% figure beyond the information contained within the report and appendices.

The estimate was informed by professional judgement, consideration of information available from other authorities and industry sources, and discussion with peers in local government. Where discussions took place verbally, no electronic records were created or retained. Consequently, no further electronically held information is held by the Council in relation to the methodology used to arrive at the 20% assumption.
