Please could you tell me how much recycling is rejected (in weight, percentage of total recycling, and number of loads if possible) in the borough? [Hackney] This includes recycling rejected by the collection team, other MSFs and by the recycling plant.

Rejected loads at the MRF in 2018 and 2019.                      

2018 (calendar year) 

    9 loads were rejected with a total of 12.8 tonnes of recycling which = 0.08% of the recycling delivered to the MRF

•    2019 Jan to end of April 2019 (we do not have data for May yet) 

    3 loads have been rejected with a total of 4.9 tonnes of recycling which = 0.08% of the recycling delivered to the MRF

Therefore 0.08% for both years.
