Greenwich reuse and recycling centre
Greenwich borough does better than many other councils at recycling. This is the public facility where people can bring items that don't go in the domestic recycling bin such as wood, large metal items, electrical equipment and fluorescent tubes for recycling; there are also skips for general (non-recyclable) waste. Trade vehicles have to go to the "waste recovery centre" next door

Abbey Wood: The Southern Outfall Sewer
This embankment covers the pipes of the Southern Outfall Sewer on their way to the Crossness Sewage Treatment Works. The Sewer was constructed under the direction of Joseph Bazalgette, the Chief Engineer of the Metropolitan Board of Works, and was built in the early 1860s. The embankment now has a footpath running along its top called The Ridgeway. Sewell Road is to the right. In a sad indictment of our times the powers that be feel it is necessary to monitor what is going on and the pole in the distance along the embankment is a CCTV mast. Just behind the photographer is another one.
