Municipal Waste Data Monitoring and Reporting: Interim Guidelines

G Worksheets for calculating Key Performance Indicators:
Instructions for use
The worksheet for calculating KPIs, provided on floppy disc at the back of this
document, should be completed with reference to Annex D. The worksheet
contains three tables:
Table G1: Data for Calculation of Waste Management Primary Key
Performance Indicators (Recycling & Composting)
Waste data relating to recycling and composting activities, including data
from kerbside collection schemes and bring facilities, and materials collected,
should be entered in this table (RHS of Table G2). These figures are totalled
automatically and used to calculate key data for Table G2, required to
calculate the KPIs.
Table G2: Data for Calculation of Waste Management Primary Key
Performance Indicators (Treatment & Disposal Methods)
Table G2 is based largely on the familiar Municipal Waste Survey
questionnaire used by District Council to submit municipal waste figures to
the Department. Waste data should be input by waste category/source and
waste treatment. The coloured cells represent data calculated from Table G1.
Refer to Annex D regarding information on the number of households per
District Council and the Biodegradable Factor.
Table G3: Calculated Primary KPIs
Key Performance Indicators a-j are calculated directly from data calculated in
Table G2 and do not require further input. However, KPIs k-m are based on
information collated and updated regularly by District Councils, including
regular surveys of participation rates (l) and capture rates (m) and should be
entered in these cells.
Each Waste Management Group has been provided with customised
Microsoft Excel workbooks to enable easy transfer and aggregation of waste
data from their constituent District Councils. Waste data worksheets from
each of the District Councils can be copied into their particular worksheet
within the overall Group workbook. The front worksheet will then
automatically calculate overall Group figures.
