Cost of different waste treatment options

  • Reference: 2014/5035
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 17 December 2014
Your 2011 Municipal Waste Management Strategy specified that the typical total costs of a tonne of household waste landfilled cost £142; incineration £138; recycled waste from co-mingled collection £109 and; recycled waste from segregated collection £68. Will you update the typical costs, given changes in waste facilities in London since 2011?

Beddington incinerator - lessons from WRWA

  • Reference: 2014/5034
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 17 December 2014
Since the Belvedere Energy from Waste plant in Bexley went into operation in 2012 there have been substantial falls in recycling rates amongst the Western Riverside Waste Authority boroughs (Lambeth, Wandsworth, Hammersmith and Fulham and Kensington & Chelsea). Bearing this in mind, do you expect the recycling rates to also fall amongst the boroughs belonging to the South London Waste Partnership (Croydon, Kingston upon Thames, Merton and Sutton) if the planned Viridor Energy Recovery plant in Sutton becomes operational?

Western Riverside Waste Authority boroughs - recycling and incineration

  • Reference: 2014/5033
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 17 December 2014
According to published data, the household recycling rates of the Western Riverside Waste Authority boroughs (Lambeth, Wandsworth, Hammersmith and Fulham and Kensington & Chelsea) have fallen significantly over a two year period since the Belvedere Energy from Waste plant went into operation in 2012. Are you concerned by the detrimental implications of this on your waste hierarchy which prioritises reuse, recycling and composting, over incineration with energy recovery, which you identify as one of the least desirable waste treatment options?

Mayor's 2015 recycling forecast

  • Reference: 2014/5032
  • Question by: Jenny Jones
  • Meeting date: 17 December 2014
Last year when I asked you (2013/0859) where you expected London's overall recycling rate to be in 2015, you said "I want London to achieve a 45 per cent municipal waste recycling rate as forecasted in my municipal waste management strategy". Given that the latest recycling figures reveal that London only managed to recycle 33.9 per cent of its household waste in 2013/14 and less than the previous year, what is your recycling forecast for 2015?
