We believe that recycling is important, and we're pleased that Richmond borough offers a multitude of options - including household pick-up. Currently 32% of the borough's household waste is being recycled, and half of Richmond upon Thames residents recycle on a regular basis. Richmond Council runs a very effective food waste recycling scheme - with free household collection. They will accept most food stuffs - and definitely not garden waste and nappies. Richmond upon Thames households produce over 85,000 tonnes of waste every year; enough fill Twickenham Rugby Stadium. Not sure what day your rubbish will be collected? Richmond Council's website can tell you the next collection day for your street. Recently the council have also started collecting Christmas trees in the New Year. |

1. Make a
shopping list so you buy only what you need A number of Richmond supermarkets now charge for plastic bags - we think this is a great way of making Richmond residents think more carefully about recycling. |
