The recycling rate of local authority collected waste in England for the year ended March 31, 2021 was 41.6 percent. This was a decrease from the previous year, and was caused by the impacts of COVID-19 on the waste management sector.
Recycling rates have increased significantly since 2000/2001 financial year, when the recycling rate was just 12.3 percent. Despite this significant growth, rates have slowed down over the past decade. Recycling rates tended to be slightly higher for household waste.
