Hello Samuelsen

Thanks for asking the questions and sharing the answers.

I am puzzled about why Lewisham has lower recycling than other boroughs - "the lowest in the country" - and what the reason is for this. Does the Council have any ideas about this? Is it anything to do with Lewisham having a high provision of social housing, and perhaps some of the larger estates having no recycling facilities for residents?

What would it cost us to keep weekly collections? An extra 50 pence per week? I am not looking forward to additional collections for the various kinds of waste, and if you happen to miss your fortnightly collection, your rubbish will remain uncollected for a month, rather than a fortnight.
