KERA Rubbish Strategy
At the Kambala Resident meeting, held on August 19, 2024, concerns were raised about the increased dumping of rubbish within the estate.
Several areas, including Fawcett Close, Coppock Close, Hicks Close, Mac Dermott Close, and Wolftencroft Close, have become regular dumping grounds for both residents and non-residents.
This dumping not only attracts vermin but also creates a ghetto-like atmosphere, affecting our community’s morale.
The key issue identified is the lack of adequate waste management facilities.
With no large bins for bigger items, residents are forced to dispose of waste improperly.
The immediate solution proposed was to provide large bins at strategic points across the estate, similar to the system used at the nearby Falcon Estate.
To tackle this issue in the long-term, a multifaceted approach was suggested, including:-
- community engagement initiatives
- CCTV deterrent & fines
- public awareness campaigns
- improved waste management services
By combining these efforts, our estate aims to create a cleaner and more liveable environment for all.
The Red dots on the map (above) show the areas proposed by KERA to put large silver bins to collect the extra residents bins when their tiny cupboard bins are full, and stop this negative culture of just dumping everything on the street.
