  1. London Western Riverside Study: Phase 2 John Leaman, MORI 11 February 2004

  2. Contents • Background • Methodology • Summary - What’s changed? • Main Findings • Attitudes towards Recycling • Knowledge and Views of Services • Recycling Behaviour • Campaigns & Communications • Questions?

  3. Background • One year on from first survey, access to recycling facilities in Western Riverside is improved: • kerbside schemes fully rolled-out • Orange sacks • Doorstepping campaign and (in Kensington & Chelsea) Recycling Wardens • Work in schools may also help to “educate” parents • Newsletters and articles in council publications

  4. Wave 1 9 Oct-26 Nov 2002 1,300 interviews - 408 Lambeth - 313 H&F - 277 K&C - 302 Wandsworth Wave 2 27 Oct-30 Nov 2003 1,314 interviews - 354 Lambeth - 298 H&F - 312 K&C - 350 Wandsworth Methodology • Second wave designed to update first wave - to gauge impact of new services and campaign on a Borough-specific level • Face-to-face, in-home interviews • Sample selected (by quota) to be representative of 16+ populations in each Borough • Statistically “weighted” to fine-tune profiles, and ensure precise comparability between the two waves

  5. Interpreting the Changes • For changes/trends to be statistically significant, we need shifts (plus or minus) of at least: • 3 percentage points in the overall results • 8 percentage points in the Borough-specific results • . . . or more if the questions are only asked of certain groups (those with kerbside, those with recycling banks etc)

  6. Summary - What’s Changed?

  7. Summary - What’s Changed? (1) • Perceived value of recycling is unchanged - but remains very high (67% say it’s “very worthwhile”) • Knowledge of recycling services and awareness of campaigns are up overall - especially “what materials can/can’t be recycled in your area” (+16) and “what recycling services are provided in the local area” (+16) • “What happens to materials after they’re recycled” is also better understood - but still most people are not sure (60%) • Particularly strong gains on knowledge of recycling services in H&F (32% to 64% “well informed”) - and Wandsworth (43% to 60%).

  8. Summary - What’s Changed? (2) • People now believe that more people are recycling (on average, up from a [perceived] average of 25% to 34%). Gains in all Boroughs - particularly Wandsworth (23% to 39%) • Several specific materials are now more widely felt to be recyclable “in this specific area”: card/cardboard (+7), food and drink cans (+8), fruit juice/milk cartons (+10) and - in particular - plastic bottles (+18) • No shift on newspapers/magazines, glass bottle and jars or old clothes/shoes • Misconceptions remain, however (50% in Lambeth say they can recycle card/cardboard). A typical case of “benefit of the doubt”. . . . ?

  9. Summary - What’s Changed? (3) • As with knowledge and perception of recycling, behaviour is also shifting - dramatically • 26% say “I recycle everything possible” (more than doubled from 11% last time) • Borough-specific shifts are: • Lambeth 11% to 24% (+13) • H&F 9% to 31% (+22) • K&C 14% to 19% (+5) • Wandsworth 11% to 30% (+19) • Those reporting low/no recycling are correspondingly fewer

  10. Summary - What’s Changed? (4) • Recycling of specific materials reflects growing perceptions that they can be recycled: “Every/most time” recyclers are now: • 44% for card/cardboard (+15) • 40% for drink cans (+18) • 25% for fruit juice/milk cartons (+13) • …. and 36% for plastic bottles (+23%) • Increased recycling behaviour is explained by people mainly on the basis of the availability of better facilities: • “Have been given bins/bags/of different colours” up from 10% to 37% (spontaneous mentions)

  11. Summary - What’s Changed? (5) • Reported access to kerbside up from 36% to 54%, and • from 36% to 42% in Lambeth (+6) • from 31% to 63% in H&F (+32) • from 40% to 41% in K&C (+1) • from 39% to 70% in Wandsworth (+31) • Satisfaction with council - provided recycling facilities up: • “Overall provision” is rated well by • 52% in Lambeth (+12) • 61% in H&F (+34) • 55% in K&C (+28) • 64% in Wandsworth (+24) • Accessibility, range and services at local tips also all better rated overall, in each Borough

  12. Summary - What’s Changed? (6) • Home storage remains a challenge; despite some improvements: • 46% agree they need a container to be provided • 42% say they don’t have enough space • …. 30% feel it causes smells/clutter • And most still feel they need more information on what can/can’t be recycled (albeit down from 68% to 57%). By Borough, it is • 64% in Lambeth (-1) • 42% in H&F (-26) • 57% in K&C (-16) • 62% in Wandsworth (-5)
