household recycling rate
Islington's household recycling rate improved in early 2026, with efforts focused on communication and food waste services.
Islington's household recycling rate reached 33.9% in the first half of the 2025/26 financial year, as reported in March 2026. This improvement was attributed to a comprehensive communications and engagement campaign and the rollout of food waste recycling services to more properties, according to a story from March 2026.
The household recycling rate measures the proportion of household waste that is recycled. Islington's residual waste per household was projected to reach a record low of 251kg for the 2025/26 financial year, a March 2026 story said. No upcoming discussions on this topic are currently scheduled.
