Recycle for LONDON
According to the Recycle for London website, Londoners produce 3.4 million tonnes of rubbish a year, which is enough to fill Canary Wharf tower every 10 days. Londoners currently recycle 21% of their rubbish, yet research has found that around two thirds of the average household bin could be recycled. Despite this, the problem is getting worse as we buy more packaged and disposable goods.

The Clean Streets Programme
This Programme is a common sense approach to keeping Westminster clean. It recognises we are a 24-hour City with a rapidly growing resident and visitor population. More people leads to more rubbish and dirtier streets. So we need to carry out frequent, efficient street cleansing - and deal with the growing problem of anti-social activities too. This monumental task is the biggest job of its kind - we must clear approximately 250,000 tonnes of waste annually. The expectations of local residents and businesses have risen greatly in recent years. You rightly expect a higher quality, needs-tailored, service.
