Recycling champions wanted - Vauxhall Gardens and China Walk Estates

Estate Recycling Champions Needed!

Are you interested in recycling? Do you think you could help others to get into the recycling habit? Then you could become a recycling champion!

If you are an individual or resident group, from one of the selected estates, and you are interested in getting actively involved in recycling and reducing waste in your local community, then we want to hear from you. The six selected Lambeth Living Estates are Vauxhall Gardens, China Walk, Central Hill, Weir, Cowley, and Springfield.

To take part in the scheme you must be over 18 years old and live on one of the selected Lambeth Living estates. All you need is lots of enthusiasm about recycling and the environment and be able to spare a few hours each week. We will give you all the information, materials and support you will need.

For each estate that improves their recycling there is £500 available for a project to help improve their local environment!

For more information on the scheme contact Philip O’Keeffe, Recycling Champions Co-ordinator on 020 7926 8948 or email pokeeffe@lambeth.gov.uk.
