couple in kent, visiting london

recycling depends on the product and material

big products like furniture, try to repair and keep using

does not like to throw away

visit near charring cross and soho, finds clean areas available

does not find a delegated space for recycling and reusing

second hand shops may come useful - rather give it to someone than throw away

couple living in pimlico

big waste bind go to non-recyclable, small cardboard boxes go to recyclable waste

recycle bin across the road of the building, convenient to recycle

5,6/10 of caring for waste and consumption but cares more towards health and wellbeing

recycling may be done better

roads have rubbish and bin bags of rubbish

recycling could have been easier if bigger house size

lack of space restricts them from effectively recycling

thinks it is more of socioeconomical issues, rather than recycling and waste

both from spain, shares experience of dumping in a deep hole in the ground and collection being made occasionally → benefits of holding large volumes of waste

worker in clothing charity shop (in tachbrook st.)

lives near clapham

try to consume outside and leftover food, to reduce takeouts

general waste bins are located far away from the store, inconvenient

but understands the lack of bin issues and the reasons, state the issue of other businesses and lack of space in roads

near trees → place bin bags when come and collect

other businesses were to rip and see what businesses did in specific times

SO GREEN (company) businesses come 1-2 a week and picks up rubbish from inside the store

prevent sewage and pests, less focus on what’s on the road and recycling

market alleyway has more bins
