Rubbish Scheme

At its September meeting, the Board welcomed Kevin Maple who explained the circumstances and policy of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets regarding it’s soon to be introduced Recycling Scheme. He explained that all recyclable material would be put in one reusable sack delivered to residents. Weekly doorstep collection could be arranged for the houses on the estate but the provision for the residents of the blocks was more difficult. The Board agreed that Kevin Maple should liaise with Mark Tamuta to see if an arrangement could be made for the blocks. The success or failure of the scheme at London Yard may depend on the willingness of block residents to carry their rubbish across the estate to designated rubbish paladins.
