Lambeth Council reports we are bucking the national trend by throwing away less and recycling more. We're now the best recyclers in Inner London! 

We also collect the fourth lowest amount of waste per person in the country – so most people are playing their part in reducing waste and making an important environmental impact.

Sadly, some of our recycling gets contaminated by items which should have gone in the bin. Take the recycling quiz now to test your knowledge on what must go in the recycling and what cannot. Some advice has changed over the years (clue: you now keep the plastic bottle lids on!), and the quiz is a good way of understanding the best recycling tips.
