We, the undersigned, call for the publishers of the freesheet newspapers and magazines* to install newspaper recycling bins inside, outside or as close as possible to Leyton tube station so that commuters have the option to recycle their copies.

Currently there are no recycling facilities available and every day countless copies are discarded in the rubbish bins outside the station or on the ground. This has to stop. The publishers should be aware of their environmental commitments when mass producing a free product from paper.

Associated Newspapers and NI Free Newspapers Ltd/News International recently agreed to install 70 recycling bins throughout the West End.
If it is good enough for Westminster then it is good enough for Waltham Forest!

We expect the publishers to be 100% responsible for the emptying and maintenance of the recycling bins and for recycling the contents of the bins.
