Wandsworth Borough Council (WBC) are responsible for collecting rubbish. Please visit WBC’s website for more comprehensive information. You may also download an information sheet from the Co-op here.

The following is a summary of advice from WBC:

Household Rubbish

• Currently, rubbish is collected every Tuesday morning. Black bags must be placed in your allocated bin store area. Read more about how to bag your rubbish and what bags to use on the Wandsworth Borough Council website.
• If your rubbish has not been collected, please file a complaint with the council here.

Household Recycling & Garden Waste

• You can have up to five bags of compostable garden waste collected each week along with your other dustbin waste; this does not include Japanese Knotweed or any bulky garden waste items.

  Just place your sacks of garden waste beside any dustbins or other waste sacks for collection and they will be collected at the same time. You do not have to use special garden waste sacks – any strong refuse sack is fine, so long as it is tied and isn’t split. Read more from WBC here.

  Alternatively, if you have a garden, you can compost your garden waste at home:

Bulky Refuse Collection

• The council will collect small electrical items. Households also get two free bulky waste collections every 12 months. This is a rolling 12-month period that starts on the date your first free collection is made. You need to book. Please refer to the WBC’s website for further details.
