Interest in a recent workshop pedestrian-controlled vehi(PCVs) was so keen that • i recycling company behind it planning a bigger event this mmer. North-London based cycling Works Haringey WH), the community kerbside !lector, deliberately kept the bruary workshop small.
It was for community racyg groups and local authoris already using PCVs to corm re experiences, or for those nking of using them," says i/1-1 manager Worku Lakew, A PCV handbook is planned as a follow-up in advance of a larger workshop in June or July.
Lakew contends that PCVs could be the ultimate answer for collecting household recyclables in congested urban streets. They only cost around 28,000, there is no MoT, licence or insurance to pay, and battery power is cheap, quiet and nonpolluting. "By collecting offroad, our operators, who only take an hour to train, are not contributing to urban congestion," he points out.
