SECTION C
SANITARY CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE AREA
Refuse and Salvage
(a) Refuse Collection and disposal.
The system inaugurated in 1957 whereby household refuse is transported
to a privately controlled tip at South Ockenden continued
quite satisfactorily.
In connection with refuse collection from multi-storey flats it was
decided by the appropriate Committee, that as far as Council flat
development was concerned every effort should be made to ensure
that the collection of refuse from communal bins should be operated
and arrangements made for the installation of suitable facilities for
this purpose.
It is intended to request all private developers to provide similar
facilities in their development proposals so that this method of dealing
with refuse in new flat development may be effected.
