Need to do something about garden waste as well.

Yes! I've petitioned the estate managers for ages for a recycling bin with not so much as a reply.

I would especially like a food waste collection scheme. It pains me to throw it out each week, as I have no garden to compost.

The lack of recycling is seriously frustrating! It’s awful to think an entire borough isn’t having their waste dealt with properly with the current state the planet is in.

Very upset to hear that only 22% is recycled as we are doing our best in our household to reduce our plastic waste and recycle everything properly. We would also love to be able to compost but can only do so if compost collection is introduced. Please address this!

I agree that the recycling/information about recycling in this borough is dismal. What I would like to see especially is a food waste caddy that I have seen in other areas. This is especially important in London as many people do not have the space for their own composts.

My flat doesn’t even have basic recycling in 2019! I don’t have any local bins where I can take it so everything goes to landfill and it bothers me so much. Wandsworth is an affluent borough with very conscious citizens - sort it out!

We should not only split by recyling and not recycling but also food waste and divide the recycling by type. Also work with local supermarkets to make loose food more affordable than packed, my rubbish is full of vegetables packaging!

I come from a borough that does a lot more recycling and think wandsworth can do so much more.

Please can we also ask that they collect people’s food waste separately aswell. Education on what can and can’t be recycled is key

Given plenty of recycling bags. People's attitudes that need work. I'm the only one of six in a house share that recycles. Reducing single use plastic would be even better!

You should collect our waste on different days, divided by plastic, glass, paper and food waste. All in separated bags
