GENERAL SANITARY CONDITIONS
Refuse Collection and Disposal
A weekly collection of house refuse has been maintained during the
year. The Council saw fit to congratulate the Refuse Collectors for the
very good work which, as everyone knows, must continue no matter what
the weather is like.
Disposal of refuse continued at two tips, one in Cherry Lane, the other
in Stockley. What with the extraordinary amount of refuse received by an
Urban District of this size, great care and a great deal of supervision is
essential to maintain the organisation and plant necessary to cope with the
many problems involved.
London Airport continued to get twice daily collections from the
Council although towards the end of the year the service was taxed to
breaking point because of increased commitments there. Towards the end
of the year trial collections, working a twice daily, instead of a day and
night collection ,were being conducted as an experimental exercise and more
will need to be said in a later report about this.
