Collecting & reporting waste BVPIs through WasteDataFlow

User Group (England)

5th June 2006

Outline

• Background• System changes

– New questions– New reports– New guidance

• Overview of calculation method• Timing• Points for discussion

Background

• Defra, DCLG & the Audit Commission discussed & agreed to the principle of WDF being used for BVPIs 2006/7 onwards

• BVPIs 82a-d, 84, 86, 87, 91a,b in scope

• Calculation to be done within system; methodology being finalised with UG. Discussions on-going with AC.

• Aim: minimum system changes, maximum benefit to all =>WDF as ‘one-stop-shop’.

Proposed question changes

• Refined Question 18 to enable voluntary separate reporting of hh and non-hh recycled tonnages (for 82a and 82b).

• New optional question 69 for reporting hh tonnages to landfill and energy recovery (for 82c and 82d)

New BVPI report• Excel based; can be run for each quarterly return.

Will include all BVPIs, and show WCAs for WDAs.• An example…

New Guidance

• Will explain which questions (or parts of) are used in BVPI calculations, the calculation methodology, the new questions and reporting.

Overview of calculation method

• 84: total hh waste = collected for recycling (10, 12, 16, 17, 18hh, 33, 34), excl. rubble & reuse, plus residual from households in Q23. For WDAs includes WCAs recycling, and Q14 WDA recycling. Also forms denominator for 82.

• 82a,b; tonnages sent for recycling/composting (net of rejects) from Q10, 12, 16, 17, 18 (hh only), 33, 34, excludes rubble & reuse. Minus MRF rejects (% due to hh). Minus Q19 rejects (% due to hh).

Overview of calculation method…

• 82c; [inputs to Q54 and Q57 plus RDF produced in Q56 plus diverted for energy recovery from other routes (59, 64, 65) minus diverted for recycling from Q57]* %hh waste for energy recovery (69) plus recycling rejects to energy recovery.

• 82d; [inputs to landfill, 51, 52, 53, plus diverted for landfill from other routes (56, 59, 60, 64, 65)]*%hh waste for landfill (69) plus recycling rejects to landfill.

Overview of calculation method…

• 84a – total hh waste/population from Q1, (to be updated)

• 86; net total collection cost Q31. No. hh in Q2.

• 87; net total disposal cost Q32. Total MSW=all Q23 plus all recycling tonnages (including WCAs for WDAs)

• 91a; at least one recyclable – total of Q7

• 91b; at least two recyclables – from Q7 (sum of 2, 3, 4+).

Timing

• Question changes for 2006/7, plan disseminated soon, implemented from July 2006.

• New guidance; early July 2006.

• BVPI excel report; from July 2006

• Annual submission to Audit Commission next year – probably through upload to EDC. Work on-going with AC. Auditing & WDF validation will be complementary. Auditors will have access to WDF.

Discussion Points

• Comments on calculation methodology or report?

• How does PI reporting currently work within your

authority and how will WDF fit within this process?

• Any other points?
