Recycling facilities on estates across the borough of Islington are set to benefit from £2m of council investment.

The funding will go towards ensuring that facilities on estates are clean, well-maintained, and easy to use.

Published today in Islington’s Waste Reduction and Recycling Plan for 2023-2025, the investment is aimed at helping the council reach its target of recycling 40% of the household waste it collects by 2030.

The council also plans on expanding food waste recycling collections to all suitable purpose-built blocks of flats by March 2024.

It also aims to create a zero emissions recycling and refuse fleet by 2030, by continuing to reduce the overall size of the fleet and by investing in more zero emissions vehicles.

According to the waste reductions plan, the council will also work with businesses and partners to ensure that by 2030 it recycles 75% of the commercial waste it collects.

Cllr Rowena Champion, Islington Council’s executive member for Environment, Air Quality, and Transport, said: ‘We know that we’re rapidly running out of time to address climate change, and that it’s vitally important that we all make greener choices about the way that we live.

‘Our new Waste and Recycling Plan is designed to help achieve just that. By investing more than £2m in recycling on estates, expanding our food waste recycling collection, and working proactively with businesses, we’re supporting people across the borough to make more environmentally-friendly choices.’
