The EPA publishes data on waste generation and management in the Republic of Ireland, and on waste exports and imports in the annual National Waste Report. Waste data is collected through surveys of waste operators, local authorities, industry (biennially) and other bodies as necessary, to gather information on municipal waste, construction & demolition waste, hazardous waste and other waste streams (e.g. waste electrical and electronic equipment, packaging waste). Data collected by the EPA is validated through desk-top studies and audits. The waste data collected for the National Waste Report is also used for Ireland's legal reporting obligations under various EU Directives and Regulations.
The most recent National Waste Report was published in February 2011, reporting waste information for 2009.
