Our waste management strategy details our approach to the management of waste.
We created the strategy to make sure our management of waste in Harrow was:
- sustainable and
- in line with legislation and guidelines.
In Harrow, we have an estimated population of 252,338 (2020).
Our bin crews collect around 700,000 bins a year.
Landfill costs are increasing and concerns are ever growing over climate change efforts.
It is more important than ever for us to make sure that the waste we produce is managed efficiently.
Our waste management strategy is reviewed every three years, considering any:
- developing practice
- new guidance
- changing legislation.
At the time of any review, a consultation will take place with appropriate parties.
