Linked Data is stored in graphs. We keep dataset contents (the data) separately from the metadata, to make it easier for you to find exactly what you need.

The data in this dataset are stored in the graph: http://statistics.gov.scot/graph/household-waste

The data structure definition for this data cube dataset is stored in the same graph as the data: http://statistics.gov.scot/graph/household-waste

The data are published in Excel format and is also available as a PDF with accompanying commentary. xsd:string

Accuracy and Reliability http://statistics.gov.scot/def/statistical-quality/accuracy-and-reliability

The data are collected through WasteDataFlow, a web based system for capturing data on Household Waste. The accuracy depends on local authority to provide information based on weights for individual waste streams and material collections. Local authorities also have to provide a final destination of the materials (with reference to waste management license/permit). Household waste excludes waste from non-domestic properties such as hospitals and nursing homes, residential hostels, residential homes, schools, universities and other educational facilities, caravan sites and campsites, self catering holiday accommodation, prisons and penal institutions, public halls, royal palaces and premises occupied by charities and used for charitable purposes. xsd:string

Description dcterms:description http://purl.org/dc/terms/description

SEPA collect data from local authorities on both household waste arisings and amount of household waste recycled or composted. Household waste includes household collection rounds, other household collections such as bulky waste collections, waste deposited by householders at household waste recycling Centres and recycling points/ bring banks. This data is published as Official Statistics by Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) and can be found at: [http://www.sepa.org.uk/environment/waste/waste-data/waste-data-reporting/household-waste-data/](http://www.sepa.org.uk/environment/waste/waste-data/waste-data-reporting/household-waste-data/) xsd:string

Relevance http://statistics.gov.scot/def/statistical-quality/relevance

A reduction in the amount of waste generated in Scotland is an indicator of greater resource efficiency and more sustainable consumption behaviour - addressing the first step in the waste hierarchy ('Reduce, Re-use, Recycle, Recover'). The indicator measures household waste to be aligned with Scottish, UK and European targets and focus on the service provided by local authorities to individual households. xsd:string
