    Reduced production of solid waste

    What we collect

    This indicator tracks the amount of solid waste produced annually in the County in terms of tonnes.

    Why we collect it

    With landfills nearing capacity throughout the County, reduced solid waste production has become a strategic regional priority. Monitoring this indicator allows us to measure our success in encouraging reduced solid waste production across the County.
