Cavendish, west to east.
1) Corner of Wightman Rd
2) Along Harringay Passage, and at the crossing on Cavendish Rd
3) Nearer Green Lanes
(bike tyres well flat, metalwork rusting)
By flats at back of Dostlar. Note pavement already narrowed by scaffolding.
On Green Lanes by Cavendish (taken around 1915, well outside the put-out-rubbish hours of 0800-0900 and 2130-2300)
Right by the pedestrian crossing. Any old pole will do to dump against.
I think it may have been Justin who once said that if the council just picked up all the white-goods dumped in the borough really quickly then they would meet their carbon targets easily. The council can also meet their carbon targets by cladding their housing infrastructure in wool and aluminium but that has drawbacks.
But the 'metal fairies' usually get there first, John!
It was John- in fact I spoke to the Head of Energy and Carbon management about it the other day and repeated it. The effort going into reducing a tonne of CO2 via energy efficiency is very high, but with older fridges and freezers the refrigerant in them is often HCFCs which have a warming potential that is extremely high. Ie a kg of refrigerant can be as much as 1.7t CO2 equivalent. Its simple, stop your van, pick up the fridge and dispose of appropriately...
I am not sure I got the guy's attention with that thought however.
Well it can supposedly cost £10 million to clad a tower in wool and aluminium to meet carbon targets but the suspicious resignation of two directors at Shelter makes me realise that someone else is having meetings with councils about how to reduce carbon and they're selling a solution. You know you can spend £49.99 on them at lunch and they don't have to declare it (it's £25 in an investment bank)?
What we need to do is setup a fridge/freezer disposal business and find some way to charge the council for the 1.7t of carbon we've removed each time.
Based on the five refrigeration units in Sunday's pictures, that's 8.5t CO2.
Umfreville Road, east to west, plus Wightman Road between Endymion and Duckett.
1) By Green Lanes. Bike frame+wheel and orange bike are long-term dumped
2) A favoured dumping spot, between the last house and the medical practice. Usually more than well ordered drinks here (someone had lined them up together between morning (spaced out) and 7 pm).
3)
4) By Harringay Passage, another favoured dumping spot (taken at 1800)
And an update (taken at 1920, 80 mins after the previous picture)
5) By the New River (note: this was the only littering I could spot on the New River banks between Cavendish and Endymion)
6)
7) Broken glass across pavement, hazardous for dogs
8) Wightman Rd between Umfreville and Burgoyne (rest of road between Endymion and Duckett clear)
a) corner of Umfreville Road, nearly always bags here, may be a Veolia collection point?
b) near the garage (note: I could see no trade waste from any of the businesses on that stretch of the road, all were tidy including the tyre place at the top of Burgoyne)
And lastly, Disraelian Delights. Saved the best till last, I have.
A Endymion Road. Clear of all intrusive rubbish that I could see.
B Alroy Road. Also clear.
C Lothair Road South. Covered by kotkas a few pages above.
D Coningsby Road
E Tancred Road. Clear
F Venetia Road. Clear
G Lothair Road North
The garden's full up with building rubbish, too
Corner of Sybil Mews, back of the Beaconsfield
H Sybil Mews, which wins the prize for the biggest pile of rubbish on a passageway
