WasteDataFlow

District councils in Northern Ireland are required to report data on municipal waste arisings on a quarterly basis as per Regulation 10 (5) of the Landfill Allowances Scheme (Northern Ireland) Regulations 2004. The data for each quarter must be submitted to the Monitoring Authority (NIEA) within 2 months after the relevant quarter ends.

District councils must submit their data via the WasteDataFlow (WDF) system. WDF is a web based system, initially developed by The Chartered Institution of Wastes Management. Launched in 2004, WDF is now owned, operated, and managed by Defra in partnership with the UK’s devolved administrations through an Operational Group, and Programme Management Board. Northern Ireland district councils began formally reporting municipal waste data via WDF from May 2005 for data arising post January 2005.
