About timed collections

If your home or business is in one of these areas:

  •  your waste can only be put out between certain times
  •  you cannot put your bin on public land
  •  you must use sacks if your waste is collected from the street
 

We have these timed collections to:

  • keep the main shopping areas free of rubbish for most of the day
  • reduce the amount of illegally dumped waste
  • make a cleaner, safer environment for people living, working and shopping in our town centres

 

Check if you’re in a timed collection area

To check if you’re in one of our timed areas:

  • see the maps on the 5 town centre pages above
  • look for signs on your street
 

Businesses — important information

If you use bins stored on and collected from private land, the timed collections will not affect how your waste is collected.

If you do not have a bin on private land, you must use waste sacks instead. You cannot have a bin on public land.

 

Please note: Timed collections affect all homes and businesses in these areas, whether their waste is collected by Lambeth Council or another registered waste management company.
