Environment - recycling and waste management

Recycling and waste management is easy in Southwark.

There have been big improvements to recycling services over the last few years, which has seen the amount of household waste we recycle increase to about 21 percent.

But there is still a lot more we can all do, as over two-thirds of waste produced at home could be recycled or composted, rather than sent to landfill or burned to recover energy.

There are different types of waste which is best managed by disposing of it correctly. Find out what can and can't be recycled, order a replacement bin or have your bulky items collected for free.
