Please help us to keep your streets clean. Do your bit by:

  • putting your refuse in your front garden or outside your property where it is clearly visible.
  • using strong refuse sacks or dustbins, not flimsy carrier bags, kitchen bin liners.
  • not putting loose items out for collection.
  • having your refuse available for collection either after 9pm on the evening before your collection day, or before 6.00am on your collection day. 


Bank holiday collections

There will be no changes to rubbish and recycling collection days on any bank holiday with the exception of Christmas day, Boxing day and New Years day.

Council estates, flats and mansion blocks

If you live on an estate or in a flat or mansion block, it is likely that you will be provided with communal refuse bins.  Please contact the Cleaner Greener hotline on 020 8753 1100.


Bulky waste

The council provides a bulky waste collection which includes a collection of fridges and freezers.
