Recycling Service Performance

Richmond upon Thames has the fourth highest recycling rate in London (41%) and over half the people living in the borough do some form of recycling; however our aim is to be the best!

Recycling and reducing the amount of waste we throw away has a number of benefits including tackling climate change, creating jobs and saving money by reducing the amount we send to landfill, which is becoming an expensive option.

Thank you for recycling and keep it up!
