Adopt a recycling site scheme

Of the 123 recycling sites situated across the borough, did you know that over 40 of these sites have been adopted by community groups in the area. In return for helping manage these sites, the Council offers a generous quarterly payment. If you are a member of a group who would like to get involved, please contact the Recycling Office on 020 8891 7329 or by email recycling@richmond.gov.uk.
