Summary

[edit]
Description
English: 27 August 2013. White Hart Lane, Tottenham London N17.

About the Third System?

You move home. Perhaps to a new neighbourhood. Or a new town in a different part of the country. Or maybe you relocate to another country.

What do you do with your waste? What are the local systems for getting rid of it? Starting, maybe, with the boxes and wrapping you used to move. And then, perhaps, with the stuff left behind by the former occupants. And the rubbish you found in the garden, and the old junk in the attic?

The Primary System - Collected Waste

Waste is collected from your home. In most cases this is the primary method. Who collects it? How often and when? What needs sorting for recycling? Is the collection free, or how much does it cost? What about food and garden waste? What should you do with a TV; broken fridge; or the stained mattress you found in the shed?

The Second System: "Bring" sites

Is there somewhere you can take waste for recycling, or just for disposal? Is there an official "town dump" or Recycling Centre? What about the litter and recycling bins you see around? Are there local charity shops which will take and resell unwanted items? Should you use those "charity bags" which get delivered through your letterbox?

The Third 'informal' System - Dump it on the street

Why does some stuff seem to be dumped in the streets, on waste ground, or down alleyways? Who does it and why? Why not?

My photos in this set support my suggestion that - in large parts of Haringey - the Council's Environment Department has failed to engage and get co-operation from significant numbers of residents; as well as some traders, landlords, managing agents and builders.

And so dumping on the street has become an unofficial "Third System" of waste disposal.
