A new study has revealed Perth and Kinross Council amassed 117,692 tonnes of general waste from 2020 to 2022.
A study by Envirovue showed PKC as having generated the second largest amount of landfill waste in Scotland and eighth in the UK list.
But PKC rubbished the statistics as "without substance" due to the small fraction of councils that actually responded to Envirovue's Freedom of Information (FOI) request.
