Waste and recycling in Hackney
The recycling rate on our estates is currently between 8% to 10%, so we are working hard to make recycling easier for residents. For example, we are aware that recycling bins are often further away form blocks than the waste bins, which can be an inconvenience for residents. In addition, the cost of unblocking chutes is around £75,000 a year across all our estates. The money saved by closing chutes will be invested in supporting other estates.
