HOW BEXLEY TOPS RECYCLING IN LONDON

Kwik Sweep is glad to hear that Bexley has been named as the top recycling borough in London, with over 52 per cent of its waste sent to recycling or composting.

What is even more remarkable, though, is that Bexley’s residents aim to do even more.

Over a third of them says that they would be able and willing to recycle more were they provided with more than one bin at home.

Likewise, more than half of Bexley’s residents claim they are experiencing “bin-digestion,” a “condition” where the piling up of recycling items around their rubbish bin is considered problematic, and want to solve this.

Kwik Sweep, as leading expert in waste clearance and junk removal, has a few ideas for the borough.

Bexley, according to our team, should follow “Recycle for London’s” latest campaign: “One bin is rubbish – sort it out.”

Antony Buchan, a representative from the campaign, has in fact said that “Managing recycling at home is something we have to do every day … [but] the majority of London residents regularly suffer from the clutter and mess that comes with it … [however] there are simple things that can be done to help get to grips with this.”

The campaign suggests the following solutions to improve recycling, and Kwik Sweep endorses each and every one of them, including:

  • Keeping a basket (by the front door / under the stairs) as a collection area for papers and magazines.
  • Using “bags for life” to store bottles and glass / aluminium / plastic containers for recycling.
  • Getting children to decorate a box to store all the recycling. This should not just make recycling nice to the eye, but it should encourage children to recycle, too.
  • Storing a bucket under the sink to collect cans, plastic, and glass after they have been
  • Re-using cardboard wine carriers to store bottles for recycling.

The above tips make recycling easy, so try and follow them! Bexley’s residents should follow these closely to better their recycling rates.
