Local Campaigner Helen Duffett is taking this issue up with Redbridge Council, but please do sign the petition above, to show the level of demand for cardboard recycling in the Borough.
At present, Redbridge Council do not provide door-to-door collection of card and cardboard for recycling (eg cereal packets, greetings cards, toilet roll tubes, corrugated cardboard boxes).
We, the undersigned call on Redbridge Council to:
Card and cardboard may be taken to Chigwell Road Recycling and Reuse Centre, but this is not practicable for people without cars.
Even for those with cars, it is inconvenient to travel to Chigwell Road, and to store cardboard in the home between trips.
Door-to-door collection by the Council would reduce the amount of cardboard being thrown away with household rubbish and adding to landfill.
