Mixed recycling

Residents have told us they want recycling to be made easier, so Waltham Forest Council is trialling mixed recycling in parts of the borough from Monday 6 April.

» More on mixed recycling

With growing pressure on our environment, recycling is an easy way that we can all make a difference, and work towards a cleaner, greener borough. Waltham Forest Council is committed to making recycling as quick, simple and clean as possible for residents. There are various ways you can recycle.

How?

Get Sorted!

If you live in a low-rise property, you are included in the Get Sorted! Door-to-Door Recycling Service. You will have a black recycling box that is emptied weekly. From 10 September 2007, recycling was made compulsory for everyone in the scheme.

Have you had a reminder card?

If your black recycling box was not left in the correct position, or you put out cardboard that is too big to be collected you might have received a reminder card through your letterbox. Find out more

Flats

If you live in a block of flats that is not part of the Get Sorted! door-to-door recycling scheme you may already have recycling facilities, or you can contact us to see what can be provided. Find out more.

For more information about these options use the links on the right.

Green waste

The Green Waste recycling service for kitchen and garden waste is available to all street properties in Waltham Forest. Find out more about the green waste collection service.

If you would like to recycle your kitchen and garden waste you can order green waste containers online.

Recycling facilities

Alternatively you can take your recycling to one of our recycling facilities – there are over 40 across the Borough.

Why recycle?

Recycling saves energy, reuses valuable resources and helps to protect the environment. Find out more about why recycling is important.
