3. How much material did the health board send for recycling in each year since 2013?
In accordance with FOISA s 17(1), NHS Shetland confirms that it does not hold the information requested.
These figures are not available due to the bulk collection method provided by the local council, all recycling is taken by truck as part of the town service. The recycling material is not weighed when collected.
