Flash Recycling: What works for flats above shops

Real-world trials in Hackney, Hammersmith & Fulham, Islington and Waltham Forest reveal what it takes to introduce food waste recycling to Flats above Shops (FLASH) – from narrow pavement bins to behaviour change kits. Shelley Holmes (ReLondon) and Lucy Simler (London Borough of Hackney) shared insights from two pilot schemes trialling food waste recycling for FLASH. The ReLondon pilot spanned six streets across three boroughs, testing narrow bins, starter packs, and tailored engagement. Residents reported tidier streets and improved routines, with food waste capture rates averaging 0.65 kg per household per week. Hackney’s trial used metroSTOR and other bins across six high streets, with 2.3 tonnes collected in three months and 53% of users still participating after the pilot. Key challenges included contamination, tenant turnover, and resourcing. Both pilots showed that successful FLASH food waste schemes rely on secure bin infrastructure, resident engagement, and ongoing support.
