Recycling and Waste Facilities - Scotland

Most councils will keep a record of their recycling and waste management facilities. Therefore we have tried to compile these into a consistent national layer.


The layer contains Recycling Places (including locations of bins and centres) and Waste Management Sites (including transfer centres and current/historic landfill sites). Both are a point layer (any provided polygons will have a centroid created).

Statement

This dataset was amalgamated, optimised and published by the Spatial hub.


The following quality assurance checks and corrections are carried out on the data:

- Polygons are not dissolved/ aggregated by key name and local authority.

- The minimum polygon area allowed in the data is 1 square metres

- Checks for invalid geometry types

- The maximum angle for any spikes is 3 degrees

- Any duplicate geometry is removed from the data

- Duplicate key names for polygons are not removed

- Polygons with no key names are not removed

- Checks for basic geometry i.e. self-intersection
