Great news - we’re going to change the recycling system which I have long maintained is an environmental disaster. Starting in 2009 we’ll collect paper and cardboard separately from glass, metal and plastic.
At the moment the paper gets so contaminated with glass shards that no papermaker can recycle it. In future we’ll send it straight to a papermaker who will actually pay us. We’ll also be encouraging people to put their glass into on-street bottle banks whenever possible because that’s by far the most environmentally friendly thing to do.
And we’re going to roll out a food waste collection to the whole borough following on from the highly successful trial in Hampstead and north Belsize. All good.
