ForHousing helps tackle waste

The average UK household disposes of a tonne of rubbish every year so ForHousing is working to tackle waste, be kind to the planet and help tenants save money.

ForHousing’s mission is not only to educate, but to support tenants in providing relief from overflowing bins and excess rubbish in the form of a portable waste compactor.

Throughout the pandemic, there was a 20% increase in household waste as families needed to dispose of excess packaging from increased online orders. Working

in partnership with Salford City Council, the ForHousing Waste Management team travel to selected high- and lowrise buildings and increase their communal bin capacity by up to 50%, saving money and improving Salford communities.

Councillor David Lancaster MBE, Lead Member for Environment and Community Safety at Salford City Council said: "The waste compactor is having a significant impact on the appearance of communities across Salford and solving a major problem for local tenants."
