GETTING GREENER
The results coming from the recycling pilot area which includes parts of South Chingford, Highams Park and Woodford Green and Chapel End, continue to be very encouraging. The participation rate has increased from 38% to over 97% since the pilot started. The amounts recycled have gone up dramatically - a rise of over 40% since August. '06 - and there has been a large decrease of about 20 tonnes in domestic refuse. In a Council survey, 99% said they recycled because it is good for the environment [only 1% because they did not want to be fined]. 97% thought the recycling drive is a good idea.
