WASTE AND RECYCLING
You will be able to separate mixed recycling
and general waste in the property via the
Westminster waste recycling scheme. Please
use your postcode to search the below link to find
out your collection times. www.westminster.
gov.uk/recycling.
1. Separate out your mixed recycling (plastic,
cardboard, tins and paper) from your
general waste (non-recyclables).
2. If you are having a clear-out (clothing,
homeware, books etc.) try to make sure
the items are re-used where possible. You
can do this by donating items to your local
charity shop or clothing donation point such
as Traid in Anthropologie, Regent Street.
3. Nespresso pods - If you use Nespresso
pods, they can be recycled for free either
by dropping them off to a Nespresso store
(54 Regent Street) or taken to your local
CollectPlus location (Tesco Metro, Regent
Street) - find out more on the Nespresso
website.
4. Replace single-use items with a re-usable
alternative, examples of items that can be
swapped include drink cups / bottles, bags,
straws and takeaway cutlery.
5. Think about going paperless, although
paper is recyclable, it degrades in quality
each time it is recycled and consequently it is
only able to be re-processed about 7 times.
Paper is also very easily contaminated by
food in a mixed recycling bin, so may be
unrecyclable if it is poor quality.
BITE SIZE SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAMME
Throughout the year we host an interactive programme of
events, seminars and workshops. Our aim is to promote
and encourage discussion with our customers on the many
different aspects of sustainability which are connected with
our work operations and our lifestyle decisions.
Topics include ways to improve energy efficiency, the
importance of biodiversity and ecology, elimination of
single use plastic, buying local and seasonal ingredients,
use of environment friendly cleaning materials, renewable
energy, clothes swap events and much more. Residents can
receive regular updates and invitations to the sustainability
programme by visiting here or emailing TCE.
sustainability@eu.jll.com.
RECYCLING
Residents can join the Recycling Network, a group that meets
throughout the year to discuss best practice and steps
to increase recycling. Take part in the monthly recycling
competitions for a chance to win great prizes such as vouchers
to spend on Regent Street.
ALLOTMENT CLUB
Grow your own fruit and vegetables on one of our rooftop
allotments under the guidance of our resident expert gardener.
ABOUT OUR BEES
Throughout the summer months we offer
customers the opportunity to visit one of
JLL’s rooftop bee hives with our resident
beekeeper. In the autumn we provide our
customers with the opportunity to take part
in our honey harvest.
VOLUNTEERING
We offer customers the opportunity to join
us in our work with local charities. We are
currently partnered with The Connection at
St. Martin’s, a local homelessness charity,
and assist with the lunchtime meal service
every Thursday. There are opportunities for
small teams of volunteers to assist at a Food
Distribution charity located at Deptford.
We also organise in the summer environmental
beach cleans on the South Bank to clean up
and safely bag micro- plastics contaminating
the Thames.
CHARITY EVENTS
We host a series of events at key points
in the year to organise donations for local
charities - this covers everything from
small Christmas gifts, to food parcels and
financial contributions to assist with specific
requests. These activities are promoted via
our newsletter and online.
