Please note, Essex County Council (ECC) respond to data requests with information pertaining to the administrative area covered by ECC only. Therefore, the information below does not include the unitary authorities of Southend-on-Sea and Thurrock. Any agreement with those authorities will need to be pursued separately.
ECC have compiled the data pertaining to inert, household, commercial & industrial, and hazardous waste movements from Essex to the Black Country in three tables below using the Environment Agency’s Waste Data Interrogator 2020 (2019 data) and the Hazardous Waste Data Interrogator 2020 (2019 data). From this investigation, ECC has established that the movements of waste originating in Essex to the planning area covered by the Draft Black County Plan are as follows:

There were no identified strategic inert waste movements to Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall, and Wolverhampton originating from Essex County Council WPA (totalling 5563.14 tonnes)

• There were strategic HIC waste movements to Dudley, Sandwell and Walsall originating from Essex County Council WPA (totalling 5974.77 tonnes)
• There were strategic hazardous waste movements (according to the Hazardous Waste Data Interrogator 2020 (2019 data)) to Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton originating from Essex County Council WPA (totalling 3416.51 tonnes)
The guideline thresholds used to define the strategic movements of waste (above) for the purposes of duty to co-operate in the East of England (EoE), including Essex, have been agreed by the EoE Waste Technical Advisory Body. These are as follows:
Waste Type

Strategic Threshold (tpa) EoE WTAB
Total Hazardous Waste 100
Total HIC Waste 5,000
Total Inert Waste 10,000
