· Per person spend £44
· Landfill rate 64.46%
· Reuse and recycling rate 35.54%

The overall plan for waste management in London states that by 2030, 65% of the municipal waste will be recycled in the capital. However, south east London boroughs are carrying out some notable reuse and recycling projects independently, such as Greenwich council’s initiative for the repair and resale of bicycles to fundraise for the Greenwich and Bexley community Hospice.
