Welcome

A website dedicated to making it easier to recycle more!

This website aims to show you that you can recycle more than you think and give you all the information you need to recycle more.

Why recycle more?

Londoners produce 3.4 million tonnes of rubbish a year, which is enough to fill Canary Wharf tower every 10 days. Londoners currently recycle 25% 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.

Kitchen and green garden waste

Composting is nature's own way of recycling. Insects, bugs and other soil organisms break down organic material, such as plant waste from your garden or vegetable food waste from your kitchen, to produce rich fertiliser that's great for plants.
