We are working closely with our partner, Veolia to minimise the impact of Covid-19 on household waste and recycling collections. Currently, our collection services are operating with some delays, and you may see your waste collected on a later day than normal. Please bear with us, we are prioritising the collection of household waste, and will reach you as quickly as possible if your collection is delayed.



The Household Waste Recycling & Reuse Centre is closed until further notice. This is because any travel to the Centre by residents would be unlawful, following the introduction of recent travel restrictions which require residents to stay at home to prevent the spread of coronavirus. We will update this webpage when this changes.

I've just asked James McAsh to ensure bins aren't left in the street after they are emptied as this will stop people leaving their houses to move them back in


A small thing but important after last nights announcement

I agree as the refuse men are already risking germs as it is. The least we can do is bring our own bins in.

Agreed, mine was collected a few hours later than normal but on the correct day - also Underhill/Melford. Bins both left on edge of roadside, which I'm also fine with. The lack of traffic must help them a bit with rounds I would have thought.

I think that these guys are handling hundreds of bins on their route so it's almost certain some will have the virus passed onto it by the house holder and consequently passed down the chain by the bin man. You should avoid touching the surface of the bins and that's why it is better for the bins to be returned to original position. No one is going to leave their bin on pavement for a few days, whereas they are more likely not to fill bins for a few days (allowing enough time for virus to clear which I understand may up to few days). Either way always wash hands immediately after handling bins.

    • MSN is an aggregator. Not a news source   the source is a Nick Gutteridge article in the Telegraph so, closer to reform than BBC   (I would question BBC news reliability these days mind you) It would be difficult to describe gutteridge as objective.  But it would be easy to claim he is frequently wrong, bordering on bonkers   https://www.telegraph.co.uk/authors/n/nf-nj/nick-gutteridge/ There is no physical reality where, as we run out of fossil fuels and turn to whatever will replace them, where existing fossil fuels don’t become more expensive  not this country, not any country - you might see some short term ups and downs as politics plays its part - but to whine about your political enemies tackling the dwindling fossil fuels is both childish and playing with people’s lives
    • I popped in to have a chat with them and a look around after I'd eaten somewhere else so didn't sample anything, but they seemed to have plenty of staff so hopefully service won't be too slow! Planning to try soon. 
    • My husband was in a cycling accident just after 10pm on Friday, May 30.    He hit the pedestrian crossing pole going west down East Dulwich Grove, just past Glengarry Road.    He was knocked out and doesn’t remember anything - and I wanted to say thank you to whoever called the ambulance, and was there with him after the accident. (And to give you an update: thankfully, there was no head injury. He got very lucky with just a fractured face.)   We’re trying to get CCTV footage - but if there any witnesses who can help paint a clearer picture of what happened, it would be really appreciated.
