Recycle for London is a major campaign encouraging Londoners to do more recycling. It can help you to access accurate information about local recycling services in your area. Most Londoners are familiar with the idea of recycling newspapers and glass but do not realise how many other items can easily be recycled.

Waste campaign

On average, each of us in the UK throws away half a tonne of material each year. Most of this rubbish is buried or burned, polluting air and water and releasing climate-changing gases. Most of the things that we throw away could be valuable resource for someone, somewhere.

Make a Difference!

Reduce

90% of the material used in the production of our consumer goods becomes waste within 6 weeks of sale. By thinking carefully about the way our goods are manufactured and packaged we can reduce our environmental impact.

Reduce the amount of junk mail by registering with the Mailing Preference Service. There's number of easy ways to register: visit the MPS website, or write to: The Mailing Preference Service, FREEPOST 22, London W1E 7EZ.

If you think that something is overpackaged - don't buy it! Use your consumer power by choosing a packaging-free alternative.

Re-use

Only use a new product if there is no re-usable alternative.

Avoid disposable plastic bags by choosing stronger shopping bags or 'bags for life'. If you use plastic bags, re-use them as many times as possible.

If each of the UK's 10 million office workers used one less staple a day by re-using a paper clip, they could save 120 tonnes of steel each year.

Buying refills (e.g. of washing powder) can be cheaper, and saves on packaging.

Recycle

All sorts of things can be recycled… Glass, plastic, metals, paper, textiles, oil, stamps, spectacles, office equipment, mobile phones and rubble.

Recycling your glass bottles and jars helps save energy and raw materials. Using one tonne of recycled glass saves using 12 tonnes of raw materials. Glass can be recycled again and again without any loss in quality.

Recycling a one metre high stack of newspaper saves one tree from being cut down to make paper.

By composting your vegetable peelings and grass clippings at home, you can save money on buying compost from garden centres and reduce the amount of rubbish you put in your bin.

UPDATE ON BIOWASTE

Friends of the Earth has been trying to clarify its position on how to treat biodegradeable waste in order to pull together a position statement to help its waste campaigners. With a myriad of possible options ranging from pyrolisis, gasification and composting, it decided to commission a short literature review on biodegradable waste, to find out what information already exists about the best environmental way to manage this kind of waste. The literature review confirmed three key things:

1. A comprehensive audit of biodegradable waste does not exist. There is a lack of reliable data for most categories of biowaste. Until better data is collected, an audit of biowaste is unfortunately some way off.

2. Separate collection and recycling are almost always better than other forms of waste management on a wide range of environmental grounds (including climate change) according to various life cycle studies.

3. There is little to choose between composting, anaerobic digestion and incineration on grounds of greenhouse gas emissions according to life cycle studies. To choose between them we therefore need to look at other environmental factors e.g. soil structure, pesticide use. The review found that there is sufficient (though not yet extensive) data on the benefits of compost to conclude that composting brings more benefits than burning. A few small scale and highly localized cases can also be identified where due to a lack of viable composting alternatives burning biodegradable waste is better than landfilling it (e.g. BedZED).

Given these findings, Friends of the Earth have decided to produce a short position statement on municipal biowaste. The basis of the position will be a presumption in favour of the waste hierarchy, with composting preferred to burning of biowaste, unless it can be clearly demonstrated (on a case by case basis) that there is no viable alternative way of dealing with that waste. This position statement is currently out for consultation among local waste campaigners and a final copy will be out in early Spring.

Should you wish to see the consultation draft of this briefing and make comment, please contact Karen on karen.rogers25@virgin.net who will be happy to send you a copy.

NEW PUBLICATION
EU legislation is vital to UK recycling initiatives, especially for domestic waste recycling targets at the moment, so it is important that we keep up-to-date with how it is affecting what our local councils do. An update of the "Local authority recycling and EU Laws" briefing is now available from the Central FOE website, which explains the new pieces of legislation affecting waste management and how these might affect local authority recycling.  http://www.foe.co.uk/resource/briefing_notes/eu_directives.pdf

PLASTICS RECYCLING REPORT
A report by WRAP (Waste & Resources Action Programme) and Recoup from Autumn last year has identified key areas which can be promoted to make household recycling of mixed plastics more economically viable. Tigg and I remember from our trip to the MRF at Slade Green last year being told just that; there is no market for mixed plastics in this country which is why you are not able to put yoghurt pots, margarine tubs and other low-grade plastics into your Orange Sacks. The WRAP report suggests, however, that around 50,000 tonnes of mixed plastics could be collected from households each year, creating a saving in landfill tax of around £47 million per year by 2009. Currently 88.5% of household plastic waste is landfilled with disposal costs at an estimated £37.50 per tonne. Let’s hope that this report can make a difference!

NEW MONEY FOR WASTE MINIMISATION
Something we are only too aware of…Recent WRAP research has shown that over 50% of household waste that ultimately ends up in landfill, originates from purchases from supermarkets and convenience stores. Therefore, it is welcome that Environment Minister, Elliott Morley announced in November that £8 million will be spent through the Innovation Fund on reducing food and packaging waste. WRAP (Waste and Resources Action Programme) who manage the fund, is aiming to work with retailers and supply chains to reduce post-consumer household food and packaging. Check out the WRAOP website for more information on their work: http://www.wrap.org.uk

COMPOSTING FACILITY GOES FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH
The UK's largest in-vessel composting facility has announced a partnership agreement with the London Borough of Brent. The £2 million plant, which also figures in Harrow and Hillingdon's waste management strategies, will compost kitchen scraps including fruit, vegetables, meat and bones along with green waste and cardboard from kerbside collections. The plant operated by West London Composting shreds the biodegradable waste and then places it into vessels where temperature and process time can be controlled to meet with Government standards. In its final stage the waste is composted in a windrow facility and the resulting compost is hoped to be suitable for application to the land and for commercial markets. It is a shame that we do not have something similar for the Western Riverside area.

HIGH RISE RECYCLING CAN WORK

It is nice to see that recycling in high-rise blocks can produce a success as shown by a local recycling project in North London - Camden Community Recycling – which has introduced a pilot recycling scheme for 2,500 flats in 14 tower blocks. The scheme aims to increase the recycling rates of glass, plastic, bottles, textiles and cans having received a £70,000 grant from Camden's Neighbourhood Renewal Fund. The 12 month pilot has now reached its half way stage and the findings are encouraging; with participation rates around 10-20% higher than the rest of the borough and some estates reaching participation levels of 90%. Camden Community Recycling has achieved this noticeable success by offering incentives to increase the amount of material collected, such as a free energy saving light bulb and by collecting the recycling boxes from outside the door rather than asking residents to take the recyclables down to the bottom of their tower block.

QUEEN REVEALS NEW ENVIRONMENT BILL
A new Cleaner Neighbourhoods and Environment Bill will be debated this year when Parliament re-convenes. Under the Bill new powers are being proposed to give the Environment Agency and local authorities the legislative backing to demand fines of up to £50,000 and seize the vehicles or property of those found responsible for fly tipping. The initiative to make Britain "cleaner, safer and greener" proposes a raft of fining measures to stop the dumping of unsolicited waste, which increases speculation about future financial incentives for householders to sort their waste into recyclables. Will we soon all have to pay for the rubbish we can’t recycle?

Recycling Guide  Launched

A guide to recycling in Hammersmith and Fulham has just been launched. It was developed in partnership with Hammersmith and Fulham Council, Hammersmith and Fulham Friends of the Earth, Hammersmith and Fulham LA21 Forum and the Rethink Rubbish Western Riverside campaign. 50,000 copies are being printed.

"We are delighted to see a doorstep recycling scheme in the borough and now this guide which explains clearly how you can not only recycle but reduce your waste and help close the recycling loop by buying recycled  products" Karen Rogers, Hammersmith and Fulham Friends of the Earth, Waste Campaigner.

The Hammersmith & Fulham Friends of the Earth have long campaigned for recycling facilities in the borough, They used to run their own paper collections before the Papersaver scheme and now the Council scheme took over. De-commissioned milk floats were used for the early collections.

Friends of the Earth's guide to waste reduction and recycling 

Feb 2004

• Treat people to a special experience instead of an item – such as theatre tokens or a spa weekend 

• Take friends or family out for a slap-up meal with scrummy organic wine

• Treat people to natural essential oils instead of toiletries and perfumes and avoid being contaminated with artificial musks.

• Indulge with a local, organic hamper made up from the local farmers market or give gifts of locally-brewed beer or organic wine

• Plant a tree for a gift that grows. Native tree species can be found online at the Woodland Trust’s partnership site at www.native-tree-shop.com/ Or if you don’t have anywhere to plant a tree, you can dedicate a tree

• Offer your own skills or services as a present eg. babysitting, house decorating or massage!

• Buy a subscription that will support a charity and give free entry all year to special places e.g. English Heritage, National Trust, RSPB or RHS gardens. A year’s gift subscription to Friends of the Earth (£24) this Christmas includes a free copy of the Good Shopping Guide or Real Food Book as well as a subscription to Hammersmith and Fulham Friends of the Earth’s excellent monthly newsletter (at £6 a year it's a bargin!)

Sept 2003
Shout about waste week

Secondary school pupils around the country will be joining Friends of the Earth’s first ever Shout About activity week 3^rd- 7^th November 2003 when they take on the waste challenge. Friends of the Earth has launched a new free resource pack to support the week, aimed at classes and youth groups at key stage three. 

The Shout About Waste pack includes notes for teachers and youth workers, information cards on the history of waste, packaging, reducing, re-using and recycling your waste and activity sheets to encourage people to think about and get active on the topic of waste.

For teachers and youth workers, the pack offers fresh ideas for teaching citizenship , as well as providing examples of living maths, use of language, and key concepts in science. And schools are invited to enter the Spotlight competition which is backed by the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs(DEFRA) – designed to highlight the most exciting waste activities going on in Shout about Week.

There will be on-line support on Shout About at www.foe.co.uk/learning from mid September

“We throw away our own body weight in waste every 2 months, and only 12percent of it is recycled. The Shout About Waste pack gives young people a great way to find out about the impact of the products we use and then dispose of. Tomorrow’s adult’s hold the key to turning around our throw away culture”

July 2003 Recycling Success

On Friday 11^th July 2003 the Household Waste Recycling Bill went through the Report Stage and Third Reading in the House of Commons. The Bill now has Government support to take it through the House of Lords and should be law by October of this year.

The Bill has been one of the main focuses for both the Parliamentary and Waste Campaign teams at National FOE. I am sure that many of you have been following the success of the Bill throughout the year, but for those of you who haven’t here is a little bit of history.

The Bill started life as a comment from the Prime Minister attending a conference organised by the Green Alliance and the Confederation for British Industry in October 2000: “I want to see every local authority offering doorstep recycling”. The Bill therefore draws on a cross-party consensus, as both Conservative and Liberal Democrat parties had promised doorstep recycling in their manifestos.

Joan Ruddock MP was picked in the Private Members’ ballot on 21^st November 2002 and adopted the bill. Since then it has been passed with wide-ranging support at every parliamentary stage. The Bill, via an amendment supported by the Government, now also gives the Welsh Assembly the power to require the same service in Wales. However, this has not yet been extended to include Northern Ireland.

The Doorstep Recycling Bill itself requires that by 2010 every household in England must have at least two types of recyclable waste collected from their home, separated from their usual rubbish collection. It is hoped that the bill would greatly increase the amount of rubbish being recycled in the UK – at the moment only 12% of our waste is recycled and/or composted when over 60% could be recycled and/or composted. If Switzerland, Austria, Germany and the Netherlands can recycle nearly 50% of their waste then why can’t we? - especially when nine out of ten people claim they would recycle more if facilities were provided.

The Household Waste Recycling Bill is vitally important if the UK is going to meet the EU Landfill Directive targets, which reduce the amount of biodegradable waste going to landfill over the next 20 years to 35% of the 1995 totals. Additionally, waste disposal authorities are required by EU law to almost treble their 1998/99 recycling rates by 2005/2006.

Whilst it may not seem so necessary in our borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, which has already adopted a Doorstep Recycling scheme (piloting for 30,000 households at the moment but due to expand to a Borough-wide scheme in September), there are regions in the England and Wales where this is not so. It is only fair that all people should have access to this most basic of services.

Thank you very much to all local people who have sent in letters asking MPs to support the Bill , attended the waste rally  and to those of you who sent a bottle to Number 10 reminding Tony that the Government should take this Bill seriously.

Question: How do you turn a vegetable into a
dangerous pollutant?

Answer: Simple, just put it in the bin!

As much as 40 per cent of what households
throw away in their bins is compostable, and yet
the UK currently composts just 3 per cent of its
total waste. So instead of being put in a compost
bin and being turned into organic fertiliser for the
garden, it gets thrown into landfill sites where it
produces methane, a potent Œgreenhouse¹ gas and
Œleachate¹, a liquid pollutant that can contami-nate
ground water supplies. To get you all in on
the composting habit, the Centre for Alternative
Technology have just produced ŒHow to Make
Soil and Save Earth¹ by Allan Shepherd For copies
call 01654 705980 www.cat.org.uk
+ visit www.hdra.org.uk for more tips and info on organic gardening

Hammersmith and Fulham council have relaunched their bargain compost bin offer - with home compost bins being offered at a fraction of their recommended retail price. So now' s the time to discover the joys of composting and gardening! To order your bin call 0845 130 60 90 (24hrs) or go to www.getcomposting.com/hf. 280 litre composters are only £12.00 or a 220 litre bin is only £8.00  (both include free delivery and a free kitchen bucket worth £4.99) + you can also order 'Backyard Composting' (a great book giving you lots of tips on how to create wonderful crumbly rich compost for £2.50)

16/5/03 Belvedere and District Against Incineration Risks

A rather worrying e-mail from BADAIR. Looks like our waste could well be going to incineration if these plans are passed. Hammersmith and Fulham's waste operator is Cory Environmental. Therefore, should you feel strongly about this issue, join the opposition and submit a letter of opposition to the Public Inquiry. We want our waste recycling not burning!

Hammersmith and Fulham FOE

To all individuals, local groups and organisations in the London Borough of Bexley.Yet again there is to be a Public Inquiry into plans to build the largest municipal waste incinerator in Britain at Belvedere. This scheme was turned down in 1994, withdrawn in 1996 and is now coming up for its third attempt.

Bexley Council opposes it but, because of the size, does not have the power to turn down the application - this will be a government decision. BADAIR, the umbrella group opposing the application, is determined that the incinerator will not be built, mainly on grounds of health but also for its effect on transport, employment, wildlife and the environment, the Thames Gateway plans and the image of Bexley.It is important that local people submit evidence to the inquiry, to show that there is strong local opposition. If you wrote an objection letter during the consultation process this does not count and will not be included in the Public Inquiry. Your letter of Evidence does not need to be technical; a short statement saying you object because of, for instance, existing asthma rates, increase in HGVs etc. is enough to count. It can also be the same as the objection letter you may have written, but it must be resubmitted. Please state in your letter that you would like it to be submitted as evidence to the Public Inquiry. This evidence can be in writing and should be sent to The Programme Officer, Belvedere Public Inquiry, c/o Room 172, Dept. of Trade and Industry, 1 Victoria St, London SW1H 0ET. It should arrive by the middle of August.

The Public Inquiry into the Belvedere incinerator starts on 1st July at 9.30am and is expected to last about three months. It will be held at the Marriott Hotel, Bexleyheath and is open to anyone who is able to attend. We hope that residents will go along to show their opposition. The expert witnesses that BADAIR is calling are going to cost us several thousand pounds. They are the best in the country on this subject and Cory/RRR was clearly not pleased when their names were mentioned. But it is a lot of money to raise, so please help us by sending whatever you can afford to The Treasurer, BADAIR, 29 Berkhampsted Rd, Belvedere, DA17 5EA (cheques to be made payable to BADAIR). Thank you very much

We would be grateful if you could copy this e-mail to as many people as possible and circulate the information amongst your members. The more evidence we can get from the community, the less chance there is of this being built. Without local opposition Cory would have been operating a 1.5m tonne incinerator by about 1994. We have gained twelve years and got the size down to about one third of the original. It would be a pity to lose at this stage for want of some letters to the inquiry. Please do all you can to spread this information.

Hurray!!!:-)))) Doorstep recycling has started in the borough.  Please support this scheme and help it be a success. 
See Hammersmith Today for more information

16/3/2003

We had a campaign planning session. We would like to support and promote the new recycling scheme but need more information from the council. We guess the plan has slipped :-(. We have some actions to find out more and will publish more details on the website when we know. We will also ask someone from the council to speak at our April or May meeting about the new recycling scheme. Other possible campaigning actions for the future are creating a guide to recycling in the borough, a recycling display for the library, various composting promotional activities, various flyers, posters etc to promote recycling, community awareness activities with kids and families, supporting existing campaigns to stop incineration by other groups and stunts including life size plastic bottle outfits!!! contact Karen if you would like to join in with this popular campaign.

New door step recycling scheme to start in borough in April to 36,000 people

22/12/03 -On  Wednesday 22nd January about six people from the group went to the waste rally to ask our MPs in person to vote for the recycling bill on the 14th of March. Lots of progress has been made in the UK but recycling is an area where we still lag behind. This bill is vital for the UK to become more sustainable. It could turn us from one of Europes worst recyclers to one of the best. Please contact your MP and ask them to support the bill. The bill needs 100 MPs to vote for it. The vote is on a Friday so it's important to make our representatives aware of just how much we would like them to be there to vote.

See picture and report from the rally/lobby at:

If you weren't able to attend the lobby - you may still want to contact
your MP to encourage them to support the bill. Find out more about how

17/9/02

Hammersmith and Fulham Borough Council'  bid to the Capital Waste Minimisation and Recycling Fund for a new multi-material kerbside recycling collection scheme was successful. They bid for £1.089m and were awarded a lesser amount of £854K.

20/7/02

Although recycling of municipal waste in Hammersmith and Fulham has increased from 7.95% to 8.68% in the last year, this compares badly with regions in countries such as Switzerland (52%), Austria (49.7%), Germany (48%) and the Netherlands (46%).

On average only 11.0 percent of household waste is recycled or composted in Britain at present. We landfill about 85% of our waste overall.By 2016 EU law will force Britain to cut the 80% of its waste going to landfill down to 33%.

EU rules state that half the rubbish that went into landfill in 1995 should, by 2009, be reused, composted or recycled. This target rises to 65% by 2016. Britain faces prosecution in the European court and fines of millions of pounds a day if it fails to reach its targets.

Hammersmith and Fulham council have targets to recycle 16% of household waste by 2003/04 and 24% by 2005/06, but even if all the UK council targets are achieved the rate of recycling will still be the worst in Europe. The current government recycling target of 30 per cent by 2010 is not at all ambitious. FOE says it should be at least 50 per cent by 2010.                                                                                                   [Top]

Sarah Oppenheimer, Friends of the Earth's waste campaigner, said: "These latest government recycling figures are shameful. But it need not be like this. The government must do more to ensure that every household has a doorstep recycling collection service. Recycling should be as easy as putting the rubbish out."

Hammersmith and Fulham together with Lambeth, Wandsworth and Kensington and Chelsea are all served by Western Riverside Waste Association(WRWA). WRWA is responsible for the waste disposal whilst the boroughs are responsible for waste collection.

According to WRWA’s own survey most people agree that they would like to recycle more and that the best way to facilitate this is through unsorted doorstep collection of recyclables. Many people in the survey also said they were prepared to pay a premium for this.

Currently Hammersmith and Fulham provide a doorstep recycling scheme, but it is for paper only. They do not provide any recycling of plastics. The council are not convinced by the practicalities or benefits of recycling plastics. “The environmental and financial costs of transporting high volume, low weight loads of post-consumer plastics would outweigh the benefits of recycling them” with a key concern being the lack of local plastics reprocessing facilities. As the figures stood in 2001, Hammersmith and Fulham spent on average £1 on material recovery and recycling per person per annum. This is pretty average for London boroughs but does give a clear indication of the low financial priority given to recycling.                                                                                 [Top]

The next door borough of Kensington and Chelsea provides a much better service with doorstep recycling of many different items including plastics.The following materials can be collected in one bag: paper of any description, glass bottles and jars, milk and juice cartons, cans, plastic bottles, rags and textiles. They recycle plastic bottles in St Albans. So recycling plastics can’t be so impractical, because other councils do it. In contrast to Hammersmith and Fulham, Kensington and Chelsea spent about £4 a head on material recovery and recycling per person per annum in 2001.

The good news is that Hammersmith and Fulham is likely to improve.David Newton, Hammersmith and Fulham Waste Development Officer said ”the new WRWA contract and developments elsewhere within the waste industry are likely to result in significant improvements in the range of materials it will be possible (to recycle) within Hammersmith and Fulham during the next 2 or 3 years”.

Hammersmith and Fulham council have a bid for over £1 million to fund the borough with a multi-material kerbside scheme. The proposals are for this to work in a similar fashion to the schemes in Wandsworth. One bag for paper card and textiles, one bag for glass, cans and plastic bottles and one bag for green waste. Initially this would be a pilot scheme running for a few months, which would then be assessed and then potentially scaled up. Currently there are only plans to recycle plastic bottles so plastic items such as yoghurt pots would not be included in the scheme. The Pilot scheme may start in October.                [Top]

WRWA signed a new long term contract on the 29^th May with Cory Environmental Limited to manage the waste on the Authority’s behalf. WRWA are planning to improve the civic amenity site at Smugglers way, Wandsworth and to create a new material recovery facility (MRF). According to WRWA this will use ‘state of the art’ technology. Plans are being finalised by Wandsworth council in the next 2 to 3 weeks. The machinery will sort paper, card use air jets and beams of light to blow things into the correct bin. In the long term this may be able to provide local plastic processing facilities (these facilities will be available for use by Hammersmith and Fulham council/residence)

Waste Watch, the leading national waste awareness and education charity will work with the WRWA and the four boroughs to deliver a new educational waste awareness programme. Work is already underway. Local schools have been sent leaflets. There will be a “Rethink Rubbish at Schools” Campaign. (as part of the national awareness initiative) The programme will include schools-based education activities, community involvement, regional publicity, PR events, and targeted communications and marketing support in the four boroughs.

Campaign Manager Jim Fielder said: "this is one of the largest single investments in waste education and awareness raising that the UK has ever seen. It's a great opportunity for Waste Watch and the partners involved to test the extent to which we can change people's attitudes and behaviour to reduce waste and help reach recycling targets."                                                                                               [Top]

WRWA also plans to phase out transporting waste by barge on the Thames and burying it at a landfill in Thurrock. Unfortunately this decision is not based just on waste minimisation, reuse and recycling, because Cory on behalf of WRWA are planning a new Energy from Waste incinerator. This is planned at Belvedere in East London. This plan undermines the positive work being undertaken by the councils, Waste Watch and WRWA in waste awareness and recycling. Building an incinerator demands long-term waste delivery because it takes 15-25 years for a waste management company to make a return on their capital investment, the contract between a council and a waste management company requires the council to provide an agreed amount of waste for at least 25 years.

Incinerators have proved to be very unpopular with public and this proposed incinerator is no exception. Cory applied to build an incinerator here five years ago but planning was refused. For the previous inquiry 5000 letters of objection were sent (apparently only Sizewell B had more!) and a petition of 27,00 signatures were presented to the inquiry. Bexley and Districts Against Incinerators Wastes Group are preparing for the current plan.                                                                                                   [Top]
