1  The figures are scaled down to correct for interference of waste from the industries.
2  Adjusted for number of cottages connected. For municipalities being part of an intermunicipel cooperation, the average is calculated equally for the waste as a whole.
3  The figures are scaled down for the incineration that was not energy recovered.
4  Textiles for reuse are not defined as waste, and the figures for textiles are therefore not included in the statistics from 2011 onwards.
