More about Beecholme


Beecholme is also the first postwar "mixed development" housing scheme in Hackney, with a mixture of houses and flats with the taller block having five storeys and containing one-bedroom and bedsit accommodation. It is featured in Volume 15 of Hackney History and was the site of Beecholme House, the family home of Maj. John André (d. 1780), who was executed as a British spy in the American War of Independence.

I'm surprised that the organics receptacles don't have lids to reduce smell.

Actually they caddies are pretty small and tend to fill quite quickly - usually well before anything starts to smell bad. Remember also that NO raw meat or fish is allowed and they're the worst.

Residents can empty out their kitchen caddies as often as they need to, as they are given a supply of compostable liners, which will reduce any smells. Kristen - Recycling Team
