According to recent data from the Department for Environment and Rural Affairs, London has the lowest recycling rate of all of the regions in England. With household recycling rates 4-20% lower than the English average depending on the borough, what is the cause of this problem and what can be done to increase recycling in London? The easiest way is to achieve this is to hire rubbish removal firm in west London that recycle around 98% of the waste they collect.
One issue with recycling is a lack of uniform availability. People living in flats in London don’t always have the same access to waste disposal recycling. For example, if you live in a flat and want to recycle electronics you can’t do so from your home like people in Middlesex Street Estate. This leads to recyclable goods being sent to landfills and incinerators because of a lack of convenience.
