civic amenity waste

Landfill of civic amenity waste had increased by as much as 11% over recent years.

This will include civic amenity waste, the bottom ash from the combustion process, domestic and municipal waste during periods of plant shutdown, plus other residuals from the recycling and composting processes.

Assuming waste grows according to our realistic scenario, the spare capacity could be used to: treat some of the civic amenity waste currently assumed to be disposed to landfill; and treat more of Sheffield's commercial and industrial waste stream.
