Weekly data audit

What changed in the recycling record?

Every week we fingerprint the materials, councils, recycling centres and harvested news in the central catalogue. Source records stay evidence-only until they have enough structured detail to support a useful page.

These are structured leads for review, not automatically published pages. Evidence volume and completeness help decide where original guides, comparisons or local explainers would add value.

Source-separated central datasets

These records are read from Atlas under their original licences. Recycle.co.uk stores weekly counts and refresh dates, not a rights-blurring copy of the raw catalogues.

What “indexable”, “candidate” and “source-only” mean

Indexable is reviewed, useful first-party content. Candidate has enough structured evidence to consider for editorial work. Source-only remains in the database for research, trends and provenance but is not treated as a standalone Google page. A large feed archive is therefore useful without becoming a large collection of thin pages.
