Notes
"The increase in non-hazardous waste disposed in FY2013 is due to the purchase of AGL Loy Yang. Fly ash from energy production accounts for >98% of total non hazardous waste disposed."
"AGL Loy Yang manages the disposal of its own flyash (non-hazardous waste) as well as the fly ash produced by the neighbouring Loy Yang B power station. Figures reported above include two-thirds of the amount of fly ash disposed by AGL Loy Yang, which is the best estimate of the proportion of fly ash originating from AGL's power generation activities at Loy Yang.  The amount of non-hazardous waste disposed in FY2013 has been adjusted from the figure quoted in the FY2013 sustainability report which included the amount of waste disposed that originated from Loy Yang B.
