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

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.
