1996-97 to 1999-2000 were recorded for household waste that was recycled only, subsequent years were recorded for household waste recycled or composted.

The main source of funding for local authorities' waste management services is Formula Grant distributed by the Government each year. It is for each local authority to decide how to use this funding, including how much to invest in waste management services.

Specific funding awarded from 2003-04 onwards to York city council, available for it to use on improving its recycling services, is detailed in the following table:
