## Methodology

Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2). 6 of the 38 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 32 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 20 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere. The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in GBP (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 253 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded. The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): the median, quartiles and range of PUBLISHED per-lift prices for a business general waste bin by container size (240 litre and 1100 litre the two headline sizes), across UK council trade waste tariffs and private firms that publish one, normalised to one price per lift with the VAT basis stated (council trade waste is usually outside the scope of VAT; a private firm adds 20%) and the tariff year recorded; beside it the share of operators that publish any price, recycling lifts set against general waste lifts, and the trade sack price per sack
