zero waste to landfill
Hackney Council is piloting community skips to promote circular economy initiatives and tackle waste.
Hackney Council is piloting community skips in October 2026 to collect items like bulky reuse goods, small electricals, and textiles, aiming to promote a circular economy. This initiative, part of Hackney's broader efforts to encourage residents to reduce, reuse, and repair, is planned as a phased, seasonal programme with four events annually.
The community skips pilot prioritises high-footfall sites to leverage engagement. This approach supports the council's goal of eliminating all waste sent to landfills by encouraging residents to repurpose and reuse materials, thereby contributing to a zero waste system.
