We can all play our part to help protect the environment.

Information is available on the following areas:
There is lots of information available elsewhere on the Haringey website, so the following sections will also be helpful for residents who want to help protect the environment:

Recycling preserves raw materials, prevents waste from being unnecessarily buried in landfill or burnt in an incinerator, and is can also save energy and water.
Haringey Council provides a wide range of recycling services so that residents can play their part in preserving the environment.
For more information please visit the recycling pages.
|back to topTransport and travel
The way that we get around the borough has a big impact on the environment. More cars means more pollution, more carbon dioxide emissions, and more congestion. However, we can all make a difference by using public transport instead, or cycling or walking.
For more information:
- See our travel page, which includes details on cycling and walking routes
Planning and home improvements
Whatever type of homes we live in, we can all take actions to make them greener, healthier and more comfortable places to live.
