"To encourage recycling and reduce general waste, as well as keeping rubbish out of reach of scavenging foxes, Enfield Council has started to roll out wheelie bins. However, for flats this means a reduction in kerbside recycling.
"In the meantime, it looks like more of my waste will be heading to Edmonton to be
burned – sorry Edmonton, I try to send as little as possible your way. It’s no
wonder that there is a need for another waste disposal plant on the borders of
Enfield and Haringey – the very unpopular Pinkham Way - which
will, if it goes ahead, see a huge waste disposal plant in a residential area
and an increase in the numbers of vehicle journeys in the area of over 1000 a
day."
"I regularly hear that people in Enfield are unhappy with the myriad wheelie
bins outside their homes, particularly people who live in maisonettes and
terraces and can’t easily put them in their back gardens. Enfield Council
consulted people and informed us that they would give appropriate bins to
people. This has not been the case and our streets are currently being blighted
by a proliferation of large wheelie bins. I want the council to reconsider this
scheme and try to give people reasonably sized waste receptacles.
"Meanwhile, the North London Waste Authority is seeking to build a large waste
disposal site on the Enfield and Haringey borders at Pinkham Way, a section of
the A406. In addition, Barnet Council intends to move its waste vehicle depot to
the site. The result will be over 1100 additional journeys around the site; a
smelly waste disposal site near people’s homes in Bowes, Southgate Green and
Alexandra; and a risk of burning of waste on the site in future. The Pinkham Way
Alliance is leading a campaign to stop this site from being used for waste
disposal."
