In a recent survey in Cann Hall many local residents with large refuse and recycling bins said they wanted small bins – and vice versa – some with small bins wanted large.

Unfortunately Waltham Forest has run out of bins and so can’t provide them.

The Focus Team has decided to set up a bin swap scheme for both types of bin. You can telephone, write or email Clyde Kitson (contact details on the Focus Team page) and let him know which type of bin you want to swap and he will try to fix you up with a swap partner. Clyde has already swapped his large recycling bin for a small one. He now wants to swap his large refuse bin.

Can we suggest that you make sure that your bin  is clean when you swap it?
