Waste Permit Returns Data Interrogator
All operators of regulated waste management facilities have to provide us with details of the quantities and types of waste they deal with i.e. waste received into site and waste sent on from site to other facilities or processes. This data is used to monitor compliance but has historically been used by the EC, DEFRA and local authorities to assist in planning for new waste facilities and for monitoring against statutory targets. We have provided this data in an interrogatable format.

The dataset is produced for a calendar year and holds the data from regulated waste sites. Waste Data interrogators prior to 2013 can be downloaded from data.gov.uk as part of the Environment Agency collations.
- Operator waste returns are public register information unless a claim for commercial confidentiality has been accepted. In these cases the data is not provided.
- The operator field shows the operator of the permit at the time of report collation. This may be different from the operator during the period covered by the waste return.
- All tonnage data is reported by site operators. Numbers are based on all correct returns held by NRW at the time of report collation. They do not include waste returns that are outstanding or pending quality assurance action.
