More Waste Enforcement

Brent Council has started trialling a new waste enforcement strategy in Willesden and Harlesden Town Centres.  The contractor is leaving dumped rubbish for a short period, whereas before it was picked up as soon as found.  This allows the Council's enforcement team to go through the rubbish for evidence of where it came from and then sack it up into red bags to be collected by the contractor.  Early indications are that this is proving an effective deterrent as waste arisings have so far declined by 25%.
