Learn what happens to your waste and recycling
Want to know what happens to your recycling and rubbish?
If you're a Southwark resident you can get behind the scenes at your local waste management facility. You can see:
- your recycling being sorted into different streams by machine and hand
- your waste processed into fuel before being sent to SELCHP where it is then turned into electricity for 48,000 homes and heat and hot water for 2,800 homes
