Collection days
The Council needs to reduce costs in response to public spending
reductions, so will no longer collect rubbish three times a week as
we did in some areas. Instead we will now collect rubbish and
recycling from everyone twice a week. There will no longer be
rubbish collections from households on Wednesdays or Saturdays. We
are not making any other changes. Our collection crews will still
‘pull up’ rubbish and recyclables from your storage area in the
usual way.
For further details please call streetline on 020 7361 3001 for
details of your collection days 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.
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.
Hazardous household waste
Residents who need to dispose of household chemical waste and
bonded asbestos should contact the Hazardous Waste Collection
Authority on 020 7332 3433.
