Take 'the one bag a week challenge' and help Southwark become carbon neutral by 2030.
It’s simple. Put 1 bag or less of household (non-recyclable) rubbish in your bin each week.
Reducing your general household rubbish is one of the simplest actions you can take to protect our environment.
Most rubbish can be reused or recycled. When you recycle you stop it ending up in landfill. Landfills produce methane gas which is damaging the environment.
It also costs 6 times more to process general rubbish than recycled items. Money that could be spent on important services like schools and parks.
