Footnotes: Year 2020 was an anomalous year with lower waste generation and recycling rates due to the impact of COVID-19, particularly during the Circuit Breaker period (April to May 2020) when activities were curtailed. The pick-up in economic activity and resumption of business and social activities since 2021 has led to an increase in waste generated, disposed of and recycled.
