The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source for each breakdown it prices, in GBP (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences for one breakdown), so a page that gives figures for several breakdowns gives one for each and N counts 10 figures, never sentences; 39 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): one row per waste disposal authority: does the HWRC accept bonded asbestos at all, the free allowance (sheets/bags per visit, week or month), the charge over it (per sheet, per bag, per tonne), the booking rule and lead time, the size and wrapping limits, and whether a household collection service exists and at what price - read from each authority's own page. Across 300+ authorities that gives the median and range of the per-sheet charge, the share accepting asbestos at all, the share charging nothing up to an allowance, and the map of where a householder must instead pay a licensed collector. No such comparison exists: each council publishes only itself, and the national cost guides skip disposal or quote a single national average.", "embed": "
