Recycling on Downham Road

Yep, now I’m reviewing a street corner. And a pretty bleak one at that, at the junction of Downham and Kingsland roads. Though that’s partly due to the building work going on: warehouse apartments overlooking Kingsland Basin which will probably be much in demand!

Meanwhile… recycling facilities are, I’m glad to say, springing up all over the place in Hackney. This lot includes bins for glass, cans, plastic bottles, paper and clothing. It’s notable to me as they’ve also got some brand spanking new bins for ‘beverage cartons’ aka tetra packs. I had a bag full I was intending to take over to Islington. This is still a bit of a trek from home, but nothing like that far!

Now they just need to bring in recycling of cardboard and compostable waste for us none-street level folks. I’ve been told it’s coming…
