In short, very, very critical.
London generates huge amounts of waste, rubbish, and junk, depending on what you call it, and yet the capital has some of the lowest recycling rates in the United Kingdom.
We, at KwikSweep, have collected a few interesting statistics to show you just how bad the situation is. After reading these, you will understand why we commit to performing the best house clearing and junk removal services in London.
- Every year, the boroughs of London collect the equivalent of 1,500 50-metre swimming pools full of waste coming from the city. If this does not shock you, we are not sure what will.
- Each and every resident of London produces two grizzly bears’ weight worth of waste in one year. In fact, the city collects an average of 428.8kg of household waste per person every year, and a grizzly bear can weigh between 180kg and 360kg.
- The average London household, instead, generated on average a car’s weight worth of waste each year.
- Londoners also discard 19% of their groceries. That is roughly equivalent to throwing away one in every five things you buy.
- Each year, London throws away 42,000 London buses weight worth of JUST edible food. This is food that has not gone bad, but was still discarded.
- Food waste costs the average family in London £700 a year. Would you not prefer to spend your money in another way?
We could go on and on, and the list would never end.
And this is exactly the reason why we do what we do. The KwikSweep family is committed to the removal and recycling of waste because we strive to make London a greener city.
No kid should have to play where people fly-tip. No person should have to step on rubbish on the pavement. No park should be littered with waste. No house should be filled with junk.
We, at KwikSweep, always have these “NOs” in mind when we do our job.
This is why you can always count on us.
