Recycling by Ward in Brent

I was sent recently the figures for recycling by ward in Brent, which make interesting reading.  They are fore the first quarter of this municipal ytear (April to June).  Here they are:

Ward Recycling rate for April - June


1 TOKYNGTON 54%

2 KENTON 54%

3 KILBURN 51%

4 NORTHWICK PARK 50%

5 BRONDESBURY PARK 48%

6 BARNHILL 48%

7 FRYENT 45%

8 QUEENSBURY 44%

9 QUEEN'S PARK 44%

10 STONEBRIDGE 44%

11 PRESTON 43%

12 WELSH HARP 42%

13 DUDDEN HILL 41%

14 KENSAL GREEN 41%

15 MAPESBURY 40%

16 DOLLIS HILL 39%

17 ALPERTON 39%

18 SUDBURY 39%

19 WEMBLEY CENTRAL 35%

20 WILLESDEN GREEN 31%

21 HARLESDEN 30%

The officer view is that discrepancies in recycling rates are largely down to mobility in the population, and the nature of the housing stock.  However, I am not sure this entirely explains the differences.  Kilburn seems to score quite highly, despite having a lot of tower blocks in South Kilburn and around Kilburn Square.  Willesden Green scores badly despite being made up almost entirely of street properties.
