The machinery at the Destructor is provided with picking
tables over which all materials pass. Such items as tins, rags, etc.,
are removed therefrom.
Waste Paper
The importance of waste paper cannot be stressed too
strongly. The Council are making every effort to stimulate a keen
interest in the salvaging of all types of paper and cardboard. Sacks
are supplied to encourage householders to keep paper separate
from other types of salvage and refuse. It is hoped that, with the
co-operation of all concerned, the tonnage of paper collected will
increase considerably during the coming year.
Kitchen Waste
During the year, 1,071 tons of kitchen waste was collected.
Under instructions from the Board of Trade, this was sold to
Tottenham Borough Council for £3,437. The material is collected
throughout the Borough on Monday mornings.
Individual kitchen waste containers are supplied on request
by the Borough Engineer.
