Refuse

Weekly refuse collections are on FRIDAYS for most of the estate.

• Wheelie bins and bagged rubbish only
• Put rubbish on doorsteps or pavements ONLY on the evening before collection day – preferably after dark.
• Leaving rubbish out on other days attracts animals (dogs, cats, rats, foxes) to break into the bags, makes unnecessary work for the street sweeper and makes our estate look very unattractive.
• Please keep your rubbish inside or in your backyard on other days. Capita or Southwark Council should have provided appropriate dustbins or wheelie bins for tenants'/residents' rubbish.

To report a missed collection or make a complaint, telephone Southwark Council on 020 7525 2000 or e-mail environment@southwark.gov.uk

This applies to most of the estate. Collection day is WEDNESDAY. So please put your bag out BEFORE 6 am on Wednesday, ie probably TUESDAY EVENING - after 7 pm if possible. If you miss the collection, please take your bag back into the house, so that our pavements and doorsteps remain tidy.

What can go in the bag? Cans, tins, foils, aerosols; plastic bottles, food trays and tubs, and tetrapaks; glass bottles and jars; newspapers, magazines, junk mail and cardboard. For more details, see the list printed on the clear bags.
