I live on the 4rd floor of my block and to get to the nearest large recycling bins it is a long walk with big bulky items... and when you get there the bins are often overflowing.<br /><br />The recycling amenities on the estate seem to be very sparse, 2 large industrial bins seemingly being shared between 4 or 5 blocks (including the private flats on the edge of the estate). <br /><br />There definitely needs to be:<br />1) Better signage to the recycling blocks<br />2) More bins<br /><br />I like the chute conversion idea, however, They are so small that many items will not fit down the chute so you still need the space to put big bulky items. <br /><br />I find the bin chutes one of the worst areas of the estate. They often stick and flies just love to collect round them. Would be great if these communal stair wells and chutes could be brightened up. It is a very unwelcoming environment.powkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00760010194282450323noreply@blogger.com
