A report has been released, showing that Allerton Park Waste Recovery Plant recycles just one percent of waste.

The plant, which is taxpayer-funded, should have met the target of 5 percent but failed to do so, despite the fact that the report found some positives such as unplanned downtime falling from 61 days to 29 days.
