WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TRANSPORT AND TECHNICAL SERVICES BY DEPUTY S. PITMAN OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 1st MAY 2007
Question
Would the Minister provide members with a breakdown of the amount of waste recycled by his department over the last 5 years and its percentage compared to the total amount of waste produced per year in Jersey?
Answer
The table below provides a breakdown of waste statistics for the last 5 years. The majority of these tonnages are handled by Transport and Technical Services but some is via a contract with a partner or wholly by a private company.
Scrap metal and recycled aggregates figures would not normally be included in UK Municipal waste statistics so have been listed separately here.
It should be noted that States Members can find these statistics published annually in the States publication "Jersey in Figures"
