London's rubbish problem: Can the city finally clean up its act? (London/UK) 25/Feb/2026

It is noisy, dusty and smells, unsurprisingly, like your bins. Conveyor belts carry cans, bags and cardboard all around us. Machines scrape and shake thousands and thousands of bits of rubbish. We are inside Veolia's huge recycling site in Southwark. This is where rubbish from five London boroughs comes to be recycled. They process 100,000 tonnes a year and it runs 24-hours a day, five days a week. This is the front line of where your recycling goes. A lot of the sorting is automated - an AI robot picks out bits of tissue from the conveyor belt of cans - but there are also lots of workers expertly sorting through the rubbish. It looks hard work and it is not without danger.
