Recycling tips and information

Taking positive action

About 27% of north London’s rubbish is recycled. By 2020 it is hoped that we can reach a target of 50%. To achieve our target, we want to make it easy for you to recycle as much of your waste as possible.

We aim to:

• Provide households in north London with easily accessible recycling and composting collection services
• Improve the efficiency of our reuse and recycling centres, diverting at least 60% of this rubbish away from landfill sites
• Provide new facilities in north London to enable us to recycle and compost the majority of the area's waste

You can help by:

• Separating your rubbish for recycling
• Separating your food and garden waste for composting at home or with a local community group
• Recycling more when you visit your local Reuse and Recycling Centre
