Maiden Lane wants its very own waste recycling unit
GIVE us recycling facilities on our estate!
This was the message from residents of the Maiden Lane Estate in Camden Town on Monday as they appeared at a full council meeting.
Campaigner Rachel Zatz said tenants wanted Camden to put a food waste recycling unit on the estate. “We have the space, the enthusiasm and the commitment to make it work as an exemplar in Camden,” said
The estate was at the centre of controversy over recycling last year when door to door collections were withdrawn.
Environment chief Councillor Mike Greene said the collections were too expensive but said recycling figures overall had increased since the decision.
