Compulsory Recycling
Compulsory Recycling Q&A for WFD
London Borough of Waltham Forest
August 2007
What is Compulsory Recycling?
From 10 September 2007, residents of in Waltham Forest are being asked to recycle as part of a Compulsory Recycling scheme. This means that all residents in the Get Sorted! Door-to-Door Recycling Service have to recycle paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, food and drink cans, plastic bottles, textiles, shoes, batteries and engine oil in their black recycling boxes.
Support will be given to residents to ensure they understand the scheme and to help them to recycle. If they continually fail to recycle, they could be fined up to £1,000. Fines will only be used as a last resort for persistent non-recyclers.
Why is the Council introducing Compulsory Recycling?
The government has set recycling targets for local councils. If these targets are not met, the Council will have to pay heavy fines, which will have an impact on all residents through increased council taxes.
After a very successful trial in the South Chingford and Woodford Green areas, which substantially increased recycling rates, the scheme is being rolled out across the whole borough. The Compulsory Recycling Scheme has been undertaken to help Waltham Forest meet its recycling targets of 33% for March 2008 and 50% by 2012.
Does Compulsory Recycling apply to all residents?
No, currently Compulsory Recycling does not apply to some flats (in blocks and above shops) that have shared refuse facilities. However, we do provide a free recycling service to all properties in the borough. To request facilities, please contact Waltham Forest Direct on 020 8496 3000.
Is Compulsory Recycling legal?
Under Section 46 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, Waltham Forest Council can legally ask residents to use particular containers for different waste streams. Therefore, the council does not allow residents to place paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, food and drink cans, plastic bottles, textiles, shoes, batteries and engine oil in the wheeled rubbish bin. A black recycling box is provided for these materials.
What items do I have to recycle?
All paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, food and drink cans, plastic bottles, textiles, shoes, batteries and engine oil must be placed in the black recycling boxes provided to every household in the Get Sorted! Door-to-Door Recycling Service. Residents must not place these materials in the wheeled rubbish bin.

How should I recycle these items?
In order to help the Council run an efficient recycling service, there are a few things you should do when recycling.
· All items placed in your black recycling box need to be clean, so please rinse cans, jars, bottles and foil.
· Please try to separate different types of items as far as you can in your black recycling box / boxes. Additional black recycling boxes can be obtained, free of charge, by contacting Waltham Forest Direct on 020 8496 3000.
· Cardboard – flatten and fold to fit in your black recycling box. Maximum size: 28in x 18in x 9in / 71cm x 45cm x 23cm - pieces of cardboard larger than these dimensions cannot be collected by the kerbside service; please take them to a main recycling centre.
· Glass bottles and jars – rinse and remove all tops (these cannot be recycled)
· Food & drink cans and foil – rinse and flatten if possible
· Plastic bottles – rinse, remove tops (these cannot be recycled as they are made from a different type of plastic) and squash so they take up less space in your box. More information: www.walthamforest.gov.uk/wfd/recycling-plastic.htm)
· Textiles – place in a plastic bag to keep dry. No pillows or duvets please.
· Shoes – tie together in pairs
· Household batteries – place in a tied-up bag
· Car batteries – place next to your black recycling box
· Engine Oil – put in a sealed container in your box
If I cannot fit all my recycling into my black recycling box can I leave it next to the box?
No, all items must be placed in the black recycling box, except for extra large pieces of cardboard and car batteries, which must be placed alongside. Additional black recycling boxes can be obtained, free of charge, by contacting Waltham Forest Direct on 020 8496 3000.
What if I do not have a black recycling box or require additional boxes?
Residents can obtain a black recycling box or additional boxes, free of charge, by contacting Waltham Forest Direct on 020 8496 3000.
Are you introducing fortnightly refuse collection as part of Compulsory Recycling?
No, not at the moment. Weekly rubbish and recycling collections will continue to operate.
Will you be changing the recycling collection days?
Collection days may change due to the increased amounts of recycling that needs to be collected. Residents will be notified of any proposed collection day change.
How can I find out when my recycling collection day is?
View the collection schedule here (LINK TO http://www.walthamforest.gov.uk/wfd/domestic-collection-days) or contact Waltham Forest Direct on 020 8496 3000.
How will Compulsory Recycling be enforced?
Black recycling boxes are emptied weekly so it will be easy to monitor which households are not taking part in the scheme. Recycling assistants will visit households who do not regularly recycle to explain the scheme and encourage residents to participate.
Residents who continue not to recycle will receive warnings and formal notices. As a last resort, the Council may prosecute the most persistent offenders. The Magistrates court can issue a fine of up to £1,000.
What happens if I place an item that I should recycle in my refuse bin by mistake?
The Council is trying to encourage recycling, not trying to catch residents out. The monitoring officers are only checking that items are regularly put out for collection in the black recycling boxes.
What happens if I am away and don’t put any recycling out?
The Council is trying to encourage recycling, not trying to catch residents out. We will only be following up with residents who regularly do not recycle.
Who collects the black recycling boxes?
The boxes are collected by our contractor, Verdant, which provides a weekly recycling and rubbish service on behalf of Waltham Forest.
Will I get my own black recycling box back after each collection?
Yes, but please do ensure that your box has your house name or number clearly marked to assist the recycling collectors.
What if I am physically unable to lift my box?
Residents can request an assisted collection. If a resident is unable to recycle due to health problems, and is unable to contact the Council themselves, a relative or friend should contact Waltham Forest Direct on 020 8496 3000.
Can I use other recycling facilities instead of my black recycling box?
Residents can use one of the three main recycling sites, or the mini-recycling centres across the borough. (LINK TO www.walthamforest.gov.uk/wfd/recycling-facilities.htm) If you do use alternative methods of recycling other than black recycling box, please contact Waltham Forest Direct on 020 8496 3000 so we can kept a record that you do recycle.
Why doesn’t Compulsory Recycling apply to all residents?
Compulsory Recycling currently only applies to residents living in low-rise households that are part of the Get Sorted Door-to-Door Recycling Service. This is because the black recycling boxes are not practical for flats in high-rise buildings, so a Door-to-Door service is not possible.
However, the Council does provide free recycling facilities for all properties in the borough, and is looking at ways of making it easier for residents in high-rise flats to recycle. To request facilities, please contact Waltham Forest Direct on 020 8496 3000.
What happens to the materials collected in my recycling box?
Glass – is sorted and processed at Berryman in Dagenham, Essex, to be made into new bottles or jars.
Cans – are taken to Edwards in Barking where they are sorted before being transferred to AMG Resources Ltd in Llanelli, Wales where they are recycled into new cans. Recycling cans saves huge amounts of energy and resources – recycling an aluminium can uses only 5% of the energy and produces only 5% of the Co2 compared to making a new one, and steel cans be recycled indefinitely.
Paper & Cardboard – go to Newport Paper in Shropshire where they are sorted and transported on to be made into newsprint - the paper used to make newspapers - and new cardboard.
Plastic bottles – are sorted into the different plastic types at Indigo Waste Services in Thetford, Norfolk, to be recycled into more bottles and other plastic products like guttering and even clothing!
Textiles & Shoes – are taken to LM Barry in Stratford. Textiles are sorted and good condition clothing is sent to developing countries, along with shoes. Remaining textiles are cut up and used for industrial cleaning clothes.
Batteries – are recycled at G&P batteries in Darlaston, Staffordshire. Batteries are shredded and separated into components that can be recycled, like gypsum, and waste materials like water and acid which are treated.
Engine Oil – is collected by Mallary Oils in Cambridge. Heavy metals are extracted from the oil which is then reused as industrial lubricant.
Aren’t the fines just a way for the council to make money?
Compulsory Recycling is not a revenue-making initiative for the Council. We all need to recycle more in order to meet national recycling targets. Individuals, communities and councils across the UK all need to do their bit to protect the environment and take care of where we live.
Fines will only be used as a last resort to persistent non-recyclers who have been given information and guidance on recycling. Based on the pilot that was run in the borough earlier this year, and evidence from other councils, it has been proved that threat of fines is an effective incentive to persuade people to recycle.
In the long term recycling will save residents money by avoiding national recycling fines, which would result in increases in council tax.
Why should I have to recycle – surely that’s the council’s responsibility not mine?
Individuals, communities and councils across the UK all need to do their bit to protect the environment and take care of where we live. Waltham Forest is working hard to make recycling as easy as possible for residents and have put in place extensive recycling facilities and door-to-door collections, but ultimately everyone must do their bit
What about businesses in the borough, so they have to recycle too? Surely they produce more refuse than households do?
Waltham Forest does not currently provide a trade waste recycling service. The Council is currently reviewing the trade waste service and this will include the provision of trade waste recycling. If you are a business looking for help with recycling, please contact a Waste Management Company that carries out collections of recyclables.
Are you going to use microchip tagging of bins?
There are no plans to introduce microchips in refuse bins.

Livingstone backs the Met on de Menezes
The 7 July bombers and those behind the attempted attacks on 21 July are primarily responsible for the tragic death of Jean Charles de Menezes, the Brazilian who was mistaken for a terrorist and shot dead on the London tube. That's the view expressed by the Mayor of London Ken Livingstone on the day that the Independent Police Complaints Commission ruled that Metropolitan Police assistant commissioner Andy Hayman "misled" the public. The IPCC did not uphold a complaint against the Met's commissioner Sir Ian Blair.The IPCC Stockwell 2 report was in response to complaints brought by the de Menezes family about the way the Metropolitan Police Authority (MPA) provided information to the public after the shooting and didn't quash rumours that appeared in the media about de Menezes's behaviour at the time (eg suggestions that he acted suspiciously, tried to evade the police and jumped a ticket barrier at the Tube station).Livingstone said: “Jean Charles de Menezes's death was a tragedy. He was a further victim of the results of the bomb attacks on London on July 7 2005 and our thoughts and sympathies go out to Jean Charles de Menezes’ family at this very difficult time. We are aware that for them personally the loss is irreplaceable, whatever the wider circumstances."But it is important for all our future safety to remember the circumstances under which the Met Police were operating during those weeks. London had faced the worst terrorist attack in its history, followed just two weeks later by further attempted bombings. The professionalism and bravery of the police, in risking their lives to protect our capital, were second to none. All Londoners depended on their judgement and courage. These were exceptional times and, while lessons on improvements and communication of course can and should be made in future, the police had one overriding imperative – to protect Londoners. As one who has, on other occasions, raised issues in which police have acted incorrectly, I want to state clearly that in this case, I see no evidence other than that they were seeking to protect Londoners. This was in the most difficult circumstances, amidst strain, and with a responsibility for literally life or death issues that the public can scarcely imagine. Jean Charles de Menezes’ death was a tragedy that flowed from the terrorist attacks on London. Those who launched the bombs on July 7 and those behind the attempted attacks on July 21 bear the prime responsibility for his death."Livingstone said that a vicious campaign was launched in sections of the media against Sir Ian Blair at the time but the Mayor was "absolutely confident" that the commissioner would be exonerated by the IPCC. He said he gave Blair his "full support".MPA chair Len Duvall said the report did not make comfortable reading for the MPA, adding that recommendations from Stockwell 1 and 2 have now been implemented.He said: "Londoners must be able to trust what their police service tells them, especially in circumstances where they are being asked to be vigilant and maintain high levels of awareness. Trust in this information is absolutely paramount and in many circumstances can be a vital message of reassurance. The authority will continue to work to ensure that the MPS's internal methods of working and communications are efficient and effective."Duvall added: "The IPCC report also requires the MPA to consider the specific actions of assistant commissioner Hayman and the MPA Professional Standards sub-committee will now consider whether the allegations should give rise to disciplinary action against him."
Penalty Charge
A new two-tier scheme for penalising illegal parking
has come into force in the Capital.
The scheme is based on the seriousness of the
contravention committed. It means drivers parking
at bus stops, on pedestrian crossings, or in safety
zones outside schools, will receive a higher
penalty than those overstaying at parking meters.
Other contraventions include wrongly using bus
lanes, entering a box junction when exits are
blocked and ignoring a no-entry sign.
A £120 penalty will be applied to the more
serious contraventions in central London, while
lesser contraventions will attract a penalty of £80.
In outer London, the penalty will be £100 and
£60. All penalties will be reduced by 50 per cent
if paid within 14 days.
The introduction of the scheme follows an
extensive consultation with the public, motoring
organisations and other interested parties, carried
out last year by London Councils and TfL.

Compulsory Recycling starting soon
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! Door-to-Door Recycling Service are being asked to recycle paper and cardboard, glass bottles and jars, food and drink cans, plastic bottles, textiles and shoes, batteries and engine oil.
On yer bike, Livingstone tells Londoners
Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, announced today that he has asked Transport for London to examine the feasibility of bicycle hire scheme to promoting cycling in London. The Mayor recently saw at first hand the successful 'Velib' - Freedom bike - hire scheme introduced by the Mayor of Paris, which has enjoyed great success since its launch a few weeks ago. The Mayor and Peter Hendy, the Commissioner of Transport for London, witnessed the Paris Velib scheme at first hand during the recent Tour de France. Transport for London have been asked to look at international best practice in promoting cycling, including hire schemes like that of Paris, with a view to introducing a scheme which meets the specific needs of London. Cycling groups and other stakeholders will be consulted on the options. A London scheme would require the support of London Boroughs, as well as the Mayor, as most London roads are controlled by the boroughs.The Paris scheme offers 10,000 bicycles sited at 750 dedicated hire-points every 300 metres around Paris, with plans for 20,000 bikes at 1,400 hire points by the end of the year. The bikes are available at any time of the day or night and cost just about 70 pence to hire for half an hour. Theft is minimal because of the unique design of the bicycles, their highly secure parking facilities and because payment is via credit or debit card. If a bicycle is not returned the hirer is charged around £100.The Paris scheme has been an instant success, with the distinctive Freedom Bikes now seen all around the centre of Paris. Transport for London officials have been working with the Clearzones Partnership and central London boroughs to examine the potential for a similar scheme for some months and will be meet their opposite numbers in Paris, and other European cities, to discuss the practicalities of such schemes. Other cities with a strong record on cycling or with public cycle hire scheme include Barcelona, Lyon, Brussels, Vienna, Berlin, Munich, Oslo and Copenhagen.Ken Livingstone, the Mayor of London, said: ‘Cycling is a clean, fast and cheap way to get around London and we have seen an 83 per cent increase in cycling since I became Mayor. I have seen the Paris Freedom Bike scheme, and discussed it with the Mayor of Paris. It clearly works and is highly popular. I have asked transport officials in London to study the Parisian and similar schemes in order to draw up proposals for a scheme which would meet the needs of London. I am sure that we can learn from the success of the Parisian and similar schemes to expand access to cycling in London.'

291 & 293 Chingford Road
The Council issued enforcement notices in respect of the unauthorised conversions and extensions. The owner appealed against the notices but the Planning Inspector has now dismissed the appeal. The owner therefore has to comply with the requirements of the notices. The compliance period is 6 months from the date of the Inspectors decision(19 June 2007).
