Some 23 million metric tons of waste from households was treated in England in 2021. Of this total, roughly 56 percent was residual waste, while dry recycling waste types such as paper, glass, plastics and WEEE, accounted for just over a quarter. The composition of waste from households in England has remained stable over the years, with residual waste typically accounting for more than half the total waste treated annually.
