Please provide a breakdown of batteries collected per area in the UK. If this is not possible, please could the information be provided for Wales only?
We said
Thank you for your query.
Unfortunately, we do not hold the information you require.
The Department for Environment and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) are responsible for waste statistics. However, we have been in touch with them, and they do not have the information you require at that level.
They have suggested that the Environment Agency may be able to help. I have put some links and contact below that may be of use to you:
- Waste and recycling statistics: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/waste-and-recycling-statistics
- Contact e-mail for Defra: enviro.statistics@defra.gov.uk
- Contact e-mail for Environment Agency: enquiries@environment-agency.gov.uk
Do not hesitate to get in touch if you require any further information.
