Municipal waste management
London produces enough municipal waste to fill Canary Wharf tower every eight days. Most of this waste is taken outside of London and buried in landfill sites. Source: www.recycleforlondon.com
The population is growing and London is producing more and more waste every year. It is predicted that there will be 700,000 more people living in London by 2016.
The Mayor of London has set out his plans for reducing waste and increasing recycling in his Municipal Waste Management Strategy. To find out more visit www.london.gov.uk
Local authorities have been set targets to increase their recycling rates. We can help local authorities to realise their targets and put together a waste minimisation strategy. If you are a London local authority, see our local authority support pages to see how we can help you.
