Hackney Council's Resident Participation team would like to encourage as many residents as possible to share their views on how this...More

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.

Following the completion of the regeneration project on Bridge House in 2019, the contractor Mulalley made £5,000 available to be used for a community-building activity for residents living in Brooklime House, Burdock Court, Chervil House, Featherfew Court and Wintergreen Court.
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.

An overcapacity for waste and low capacity for recycling...More
