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.
