Household recycling survey
| from LBH How does your household recycle? We’ve created a short online survey to help us identify and address barriers that might stop residents from recycling. The results will help us understand how households decide which items to recycle and which to put in their waste bin. Your feedback will also help us shape our services in the future, to increase rates, reduce contamination levels in our weekly collections and reduce overall levels of household waste. T ake the survey: https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=ebasqoHD-0izIPnVge6Uj_DrTkFwxBNIu19SH9lGKt5UM1laSkdLWEtaSVg0VTNRNEhQODdUN05NVC4u&utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery |
Late May Bank Holiday refuse collections
Enforcement of dropped kerbs
The Council provides a service for residents and businesses that find their access blocked by a motorist.
You will need to register your property if you have a dropped kerb – The Association’s General Secretary registered hers many years ago but was allowed to register again. This suggests that, since it is now an outsourced facility, previous registrations have not been carried forward.

Re(?)register for automatic recycling bag deliveries.
FROM LBH
On Tuesday 2 April, we’re relaunching our automatic recycling bag delivery scheme.
If you currently have recycling bags or food waste caddy liners delivered, you’ll need to re-register your account. Or, if you’re new to the scheme, you’ll be able to sign up online.
https://www.hillingdon.gov.uk/automatic-bag-deliveries
Ickenham’s deliveries will be in July
Waste and recycling update
New and improved recycling bag deliveries
On Tuesday 2 April, we will relaunch our automatic recycling bag delivery scheme for both clear dry mixed recycling bags and food waste caddy liners.
Existing users will need to re-register for the scheme and newcomers will need to sign up, which is quick and easy. You will be asked how many people live in your property and how many bags of recycling you produce in a typical week so your subscription can be tailored to the number of bags you need.
You will receive your bags in one delivery for the year as part of the new scheme, with the first deliveries beginning in June.
Re-register or sign up at least one month ahead of your scheduled delivery month.
Easter collection changes

Repair and Reuse Day
Our next Repair and Reuse Day takes place on Saturday 23 March at The Great Barn, Manor Farm, Ruislip from 10am to 2pm.
Learn tips and tricks for how to reduce your household waste by fixing or reusing items you might otherwise have thrown away.
Our recycling team will be on hand to offer advice, along with the council’s usual partner organisations, TRAID, The Restart Party, Dr Bike, Learn Hillingdon and Freegle.
Are you recycling right?
We’re working hard to improve the borough’s recycling rates and a key element of this is reducing contamination.
Contamination happens when an item which can’t be recycled is placed in with your recycling. This applies not only to items we don’t recycle, but items we can’t recycle like wet cardboard, or dirty food containers.
Just one wrong item can prevent an entire bag of waste from being recycled, so check out our helpful online guide to see what you can and can’t place in your dry mixed recycling.
Don’t forget to remove your batteries
We’ve extended our recycling facilities for small electricals to all of our libraries and they’re being well used, thank you.
Take unwanted small electricals, such as hair-dryers, mobile phones, cables, toasters and radios and pop them in the bright pink wheelie bins you’ll find in each branch.
Please ensure you remove any internal batteries before dropping them off and please don’t put loose batteries in either. Any batteries that go into the recycling process risk causing fires in our facilities.
Ickenham Pump Restoration
from LBH
An update on the pump building restoration works. The proposed work has been scheduled for 4th March, and we anticipate to complete this within four weeks.
Flood risk: Can you advise?
From LBH
This is a reminder to all those interested that the Council’s Local Flood Risk Management strategy is out for public consultation.
The strategy is a key document in how the Council will work with residents, communities and partners (i.e. Thames Water and Environment Agency) to manage flood risk.
We are very keen to hear from residents on the current flood risk within communities, where has flooded before and where there are concerns. We are also keen to understand if the strategy is missing any information or advice. The Strategy will be a ‘living document’ and will be subject to an annual review but we would like to hear from you now so that we can shape the strategy to best suit our residents.
The strategy and consultation material can be found here:
https://www.hillingdon.gov.uk/article/12238/Local-Flood-Risk-Management-Strategy-consultation
There is a structured questionnaire which will help guide the kind of input we are seeking but if you would prefer to provide a free response, please do not hesitate to send that to me.
The consultation ends on Sunday 3 March.
If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me in the first instance.
