COMPULSORY RECYCLING


The Compulsory Recycling Pilot started on September 4th 2006 in the South Chingford and Woodford Green areas of the borough.
Three monitoring officers have been monitoring the pilot areas. At the end of September, 76.43% of residents were recycling.
Reminder cards were delivered after the pilot had been running for six weeks. A dedicated door-stepping team has also been covering the area to increase awareness of the recycling pilot. Participation rose to 93.78% by the end of December with a 24.41% daily increase of tonnage.
First reminder letters were sent out week commencing 22nd January to residents who had not recycled since the scheme started.
Residents using other recycling facilities such as main recycling centres or ‘bring sites’ should contact Waltham Forest Direct who will pass the information on to the Recycling Section.
