Recycling Garden tools

How do I recycle garden tools?

Keen gardeners in Kensington and Chelsea can now ensure that their old garden tools get recycled. Thanks to an innovative new project called Tools Shed, residents can now deposit their old garden tools in a special bank at the Civic Amenity Site, Smugglers Way, Wandsworth.

From here, the tools are picked up by HMP Wandsworth, where they are refurbished by inmates in the prison’s workshops. The refurbished garden tools are then distributed to primary schools within the boroughs of Kensington and Chelsea, Hammersmith and Fulham, Lambeth and Wandsworth.

Recycling old garden tools in this way prevents them from otherwise ending up in landfill and helps future generations discover the pleasure that can be had from gardening.

Where do I leave my garden tools?

You can leave them at the specially designated collection bank at Western Riverside Waste Authority Civic Amenity Site, Smuggler’s Way, Wandsworth.
