We want service users to sign up to help develop Children & Family hubs.

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.

Now that Covid-19 restrictions have ended, we would love to hear from residents on how they would like this money to be spent, to bring residents together and welcome people who are new to the community.

Estates have historically had a lower recycling rate performance in comparison to street level properties due to the following key factors:
An overcapacity for waste and low capacity for recycling...More

After being used as a depot by the Council’s parks team, it housed a temporary school for a year in 2007. After that it was used by Hackney BMX Club as a storage...More
