Following a very successful pilot last year, Compulsory Recycling is being introduced across Waltham Forest from 10 September 2007. All residents in the Get Sorted! Black Box scheme are being asked to recycle their paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, and food and drink cans.
With rubbish causing an increasing burden on the environment across the UK, the government has set ambitious targets for how much local councils have to recycle. Currently 29% of waste is recycled in Waltham Forest - we have to increase this to 33% by March 2008 and 50% by 2012. If we don’t meet these targets, the Council will receive heavy fines that will impact on council tax bills.
We will be working hard with residents to make sure they understand the compulsory recycling scheme. From mid-August a communications campaign featuring local recyclers will help residents to understand what and how they need to recycle. Look out for posters at locations around the borough and information packs which will be delivered to homes involved.
Councillor Bob Belam, Cabinet Member for Environment, said: “We’ve proved that Compulsory Recycling can significantly increase recycling rates and we’re confident that this initiative will ensure we meet the government’s targets. To guarantee its success we all need to spread the word to make residents aware of the role they have to play in making Waltham Forest a greener, cleaner place to live.”
If residents persistently do not recycle, they could be fined up to £1,000. This will only be used as a last resort in cases where people have continuously failed to recycle.
If you are meeting with a group of residents and would like to take some leaflets about the new Compulsory Recycling scheme, or know of a location we can put up additional posters to inform residents, please contact Madeleine Thorpe on extension 4856 or by email.
The compulsory recycling scheme will not initially apply to high-rise blocks of flats with shared refuse facilities, although the Council is considering possibilities to include these properties. The Council’s Green Waste collection service for kitchen and garden waste will be extended across the borough from September, with all residents to be included by February 2008. Residents will be informed as the scheme is expanded into their area.
