Information for local authorities: performance management
The Government places great importance on achieving a more sustainable waste management, and local authorities have a vital role in this.
From April 2008, there is a new local government performance framework for waste with sets a new approach to improving performance. In the new performance framework, there are three new waste indicators:
- NI 191 – Residual household waste per household
- NI 192 – Household waste reused, recycled and composted
- NI 193 – Municipal waste land filled
