Camden launched a new re-cycling service last week to encourage the residents to become ‘greener’ and to do their part for the enviroment.

Like councils in other parts of the London and the U.K, residents will receive a special recycling kit to enable them to easily recycle food and garden waste on a weekly basis.

As part of the service residents with individual bins will receive:

- small green kitchen caddy to use inside (for food waste)

- a lockable brown outdoor caddy to use outside (for food waste)

- three white reusable bags for garden wastea blue bag for paper and card

Residents with shared bins, for example those living in a high rise property will receive:

- a small green kitchen caddy (for food waste)

- new shared recycling containers for food and garden waste

In Camden the current rate of recycling is 29.75%. The council is in the top 10 of London boroughs for recycling performance and in the top five for dry recyclables. This new service means the council can get closer towards a rate of 45% by 2015. For more information, read Camden Council’s press release here. We wish them luck in reaching their target.
