français term
déchets hors déchèteries
français vers anglais

waste management
Is there a posh way of saying this please. The phrase recurs several times and I could do with a neat phrasing
Typical example is
.... tonnes de déchets hors déchèteries sont destinées au stockage
is it basically ''waste not taken to/received by/collected at recycling centres''
Thank you!

non-recycled/unrecycled waste
Perhaps this would work. I have seen both terms used:

The less unrecycled waste we have, the less demand there is for mechanical biological treatment, landfills or incinerators. Higher levels of reuse, ...

waste collected at non-waste sites
Hello,
It means that waste products taken from non-waste sites. I suppose that would be waste collected at recycled "waste" sites. They are "non-waste" sites since they will not be "wasted."
I hope this helps.

household waste collection / flytipped waste
Hi,
As others have said, it depends if it's a regular offsite waste collection service or not. If it is, I'd say something like "household waste collection". If not, I would suggest "flytipped waste".
