is a scheme to collect clean aluminium foil for recycling. The profits go towards buying trees to keep Waltham Forest clean and healthy.

The launch of Foiled Again - March 1998

• 34,000 tonnes of aluminium foil are used in the UK each year. This works out at 1.6 Kg per household (approximately 1 black dustbin bag) per year.
• recycling aluminium saves 95% of the energy used to make foil from raw materials
• recycling aluminium is simple and the foil can be recycled again and again and again...

Foiled Again is operating throughout the London Borough of Waltham Forest. Because it can take an individual so long to collect foil, Forest Recycling Project has set up collection points in centres all over the Borough, where you can take your foil. That way everyone working together collects enough foil for a tree or more.

Now it is even easier to give your foil to FRP. Aluminium foil is now included as part of the Get Sorted door-to-door recycling collections, so just put it in your black box. Don't worry it will still come to us!

 

Alternatively you can take your foil to:

Leyton and Leytonstone Age Concern Shop, High Road Leytonstone The Epicentre, West Street Nexus Centre, Snowberry Close Pastures Centre, Davies Lane Woolworths, 817 High Rd, Leytonstone Woolworths, 614a Lea Bridge Rd, E10 B&Q, Lea Bridge Rd Walthamstow Forest Recycling Project, 2c Baker's Avenue Hornbeam Environmental Centre, 458 Hoe Street South Access Road Civic Amenity Site Woolworths, High St Alpha Business Centre, South Grove Chingford Green Workshop, Louisa Oakes Adult education Centre, Hall Lane King's Road Recycling Centre Woolworths, 5 Old Church Rd, Chingford Mount

Look out for more aluminium foil collection bins!

Trees from Foil

Recycling foil generates some income but not a lot, so we thought a good way to spend the money would be on trees to plant in our Borough. A small tree whip costs about 75 pence, which is approximately one full squashed bag of foil.
