Innovation by the London Borough of Richmond, The Garden Gang and Green Power Recycling Services
\n<\/strong>The Garden Gang\/Green Power\u00a0is a training centre for and employer of people with learning disabilities, situated in Richmond, West London, that has provided containers in which Mortlake crematorium\u00a0 place all of\u00a0their redundant\u00a0floral tributes. They\u00a0 collect the containers and break the tributes down for recycling on its premises. Agriplass collects the plastics directly from The Garden Gang\/Green Power.
\nThe current benefits are:
\n<\/strong>The Garden Gang\/Green Power\u00a0has a new income source that enables\u00a0it to employ more people with learning disabilities and improve its training facilities. Mortlake pays the Garden Gang\/Green Power\u00a0to collect its tributes therefore at present it pays no more for waste disposal.
\nThe future benefits\u00a0might be:
\n<\/strong>If more cemeteries and crematoria in the area join with the Garden Gang\/Green Power\u00a0its income will increase and the costs to participants should decrease. Agriplass will\u00a0also only be required to make one collection instead of visiting many cemeteries and crematoria which might also reduce costs and fuel usage.<\/p>\n

If you are in the\u00a0West London\u00a0area contact the Garden Gang\/Green Power\u00a0(or Mortlake Crematorium)\u00a0and help\u00a0this initiative to suceed.\u00a0The Garden Gang’s flyer can be downloaded here.\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
