Rubbish Matters: New report on commercial waste management

Alongside South Bank BID and London Heritage Quarter, we are pleased to support Create Streets’ latest report on management of commercial waste in London and Manchester. This report provides a range of solutions, from small scale, bottom-up collective action through to top-down regulatory changes.

Alexander Jan, chair of Central District Alliance and Hatton Garden BID, said:

“This latest research from Create Streets highlights the real challenges we face in tackling what feels like a relentless problem in London and our other major cities; how to control the often chaotic manner in which our pavements are used as a disposal facility for commercial rubbish and waste.

The report provides excellent analysis not only of the problems but also practical solutions over the short to long term to help regulators and government get to grips with the hugely negative impact of current rubbish arrangements on the public realm. It is essential reading for all those who care for our built environment and want to see lasting change.”

Let’s make our high streets cleaner, more sustainable and more inviting for everyone. Find out more and download the report here.
