3.0 Recycling & Waste

The bin store for the development is located just outside the main entrance. The door is secured and to enter you will need to use your fob. To exit use the ‘push to exit’ button.

Within the bin store are both domestic waste and recycling waste bins which are easily identifiable. Please ensure that you put the correct waste in the correct bins and also ensure that the lids on the paladins are closed to avoid excessive smells being released and that no waste is left on the floors. These areas will be washed down regularly but this will help to avoid any unwanted visitors. These bins will be collected on a weekly basis by the local council – recycling on a Tuesday and refuse on a Wednesday.

Under the sink in the kitchen of your apartment is a pull our draw that contains three individual bins for different types of waste which will help you to separate your waste into the correct categories before you then place it in the bin store. One of the bins in the bin store is a recycling bin which will help make the management of the recycling process easier.

RECYCLING

You can recycle paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, food tins, drink cans, aerosols, foil, plastics and now for the first time food and drink containers (e.g. Tetra Pak). Please allow space for everyone to recycle by squashing your cardboard boxes, drink cans and plastics bottles. Do not leave any recycling on top or beside the recycling bins, as it makes the area look untidy and it may not be collected for recycling. A full list of recyclable items is available on the council’s website which can be viewed by clicking here.

ELECTRICAL ITEMS

Waste electrical and electronic (WEEE) legislation means everyone has a duty to separate and recycle electronic and electrical goods. New electrical and electronic equipment carries a recycling symbol encouraging you to recycle it when the time comes. The store where you bought the items may take back your old product for recycling. Alternatively, you can take it to the Household Reuse and Recycling Centre for disposal, free of charge.

BULKY ITEMS

Residents can arrange to have bulky household items like furniture or large electrical items collected by Wandsworth Council please click here for information. There is a fee for using this service.
