5. PUBLIC CLEANSING,
The Borough Surveyor is responsible for the collection,
and disposal of house and trade refuse. He states that the
disposal methods of burning and controlled tipping continued
during January and February. On March 1st, 1951 an experimental
scheme was commenced of controlled tipping into a
worked-out gravel pit situate at Thorpe, in the area of the
Egham Urban District Council. Refuse from this Borough and
the adjoining Boroughs of Maiden & Coombe and Surbiton is
transported by road to the gravel pit at Thorpe in large
vehicles from a central loading point at the Kingston Refuse
Destructor, Villiers Road. Approximately 10,000 tons of
refuse per annum is sent from this Borough. Any excess
refuse is disposed of by controlled tipping. The Corporation's
refuse destructor has not operated since 1st March, 1951.
During the year no complaints were received in respect of
any refuse tip in the Borough.
