Street parties often generate additional waste and debris that is not expected in weekly household waste collections and routine street sweeps. We encourage all residents to reduce their carbon footprint, so think about reusing and recycling items for your street party: see 'Step 8 Make your street party environmentally-friendly'.
At the end of your party, ensure your street is clean and clear of all rubbish from your party:
- bag up your additional waste
- sort it into recyclable and refuse where possible
- leave it where you would normally leave your rubbish on the day of your street’s existing domestic collection
Search for your bin collection days.
If an additional effort is needed for larger street parties, our Events Team are working with the our waste contractor SUEZ, to get the streets back to the usual high standard of cleanliness following the celebrations.
