Estate Recycling

Ascham Homes supports recycling.  Where there are space estates and blocks will be supplied with recycling bins, provided by Waltham Forest. The recycling banks will be either for paper waste or mixed for tins cans, aerosols, plastics and mixed glass.

 

Residents are encouraged to recycle and every effort is made by the council to ensure the means are available to do so. Mixed recycling bins are emptied on a regular basis. If you are unsure about the different materials which are possible for recycling or if you find a bin that is full before its collection day, please tell us so we know to empty it sooner.

Email; wfdirect@walthamforest.gov.uk or call 020 8496 3000

The mixed recycling bins are clearly labelled and can be used for the following materials;

  • Paper
  • Cardboard (flattened)
  • Plastic bottles (rinsed and squashed, no lids)
  • Tins, cans and foil (rinsed and squashed)
  • Glass bottles and jars (rinsed, no lids)

 

Please do not use the mixed recycling bins for any other materials, such as other plastics cartons. Please do not put your recycling in plastic bags.

Some blocks of flats in the borough currently have recycling bins for separated materials, such as paper, glass and tins. These bins will gradually be replaced by bins for mixed recycling.

If you live in a converted house or a building with a doorstep to the street with frontage to store the containers, your property may be included in the recycling scheme.
