The new green garden waste collection scheme, introduced by the Labour run Redbridge Council in 2016, is not working. Labour scrapped free kerbside collection of garden waste, replacing it with an inadequate collection requiring residents to pay £50 for each roll of 50 smaller bags. The bags are weak, flimsy and not fit for purpose. Using the congested recycling site is not a realistic solution for many elderly or physically impaired residents, or those without vehicles. This green waste scheme is not fit for purpose.
