Collections

Collections take place twice a week, and as normal on most bank holidays (road signs and local advertising will highlight any special arrangements).

If your property has a refuse storage area then you should use it; otherwise please leave your rubbish and recycling on the pavement, as near the kerb as possible and without causing obstruction, before 7am on your day of collection (not the night before).

Carefully wrap glass or other items that could cause injury, and label if appropriate.  

For further details please call streetline on 020 7361 3001  or email: streetline@rbkc.gov.uk

Collection times

Collections start at 7am and all domestic waste must be available at this time. It is an offence to put your domestic waste out on the highway/footway other than on the scheduled days of collection, or after a collection has been made. Officers will investigate such offences and sticker bags with a clear message. The bags will then remain on the street until the next collection day.

Bank holiday recycling and rubbish collections

We do not collect on the following bank holidays:

  • Christmas Day
  • Boxing Day
  • New Year's Day
  • Good Friday
  • Summer Bank Holiday

Please keep your recycling and rubbish within the confines of your property until your next collection.

Please note: putting recycling and rubbish on the street when it is not due to be collected is an offence and you risk facing a Fixed Penalty Notice of £80 or Court action.

Garden Waste

The garden waste composting scheme has a separate collection schedule.

Find out more about the Garden waste composting scheme or email us at: streetline@rbkc.gov.uk to find your collection day.
