About us

London Recycles is the recycling campaign for London

London Recycles is supported by the Mayor of London, collaborates with London’s councils and waste authorities, and is managed by ReLondon.

We’re here to help Londoners recycle more things, more often, and we’re also on a mission to encourage Londoners to reduce the amount they consume by keeping their stuff in use for longer through repairing, sharing, and renting.

About ReLondon

ReLondon is a partnership of the Mayor of London and the London boroughs to improve waste and resource management and transform the city into a leading low carbon circular economy.

We are living through a climate emergency. We believe we can catalyse transformational change in London by inspiring and empowering the action of others. We can mobilise our boroughs, businesses, and citizens to change their policies, practices, and behaviours, to revolutionise the way we use stuff.

Together we can change the world.

🤔 The answer? All of them! 🎉 From 31 March, all households in London (and across England) can recycle the same materials, including aerosols, toothpaste and cosmetic tubes, foil and cartons.

💪 These changes are being introduced to make recycling easier for everyone, helping reduce confusion and increase how much we recycle. 

♻️ Why recycle? 
Recycling is the most environmentally friendly way to dispose of packaging. Putting something in your rubbish bin means it WILL end up in landfill or incineration, but recycling gives that material the best chance of staying in use and out of the environment.
