Waste Recycling Rate % of total weight of waste collected
Recycling Rates The recycling rate for each event, and the average, is shown in the chart below. The % shown is a measurement of the total weight of all waste collected that is sent for recycling. There was no waste data for Ultra North, Ultra London, 13 Valleys and Great South Run (as event was cancelled). The 2024 recycling rate across our events was 29.7% . For context, the UK domestic waste collections is currently at 44.1% , so there is an opportunity to improve this rate.
