Report a food waste collection problem
Bins collection: Friday 12 September
We are currently completing most collections on their scheduled day so please continue to put your bins out for collection on your normal day. If your collection is missed, please leave your bins out and we will get to you as soon as possible.
Some areas were outstanding yesterday, these will be collected as soon as possible:
- Recycling in CR9
- Refuse in SE19
If other properties on your street are collected
Please continue to report individual missed collections in the same way as usual.
Report a missed collection
If your food waste collection is missed you must report it within 2 working days, starting at 10pm on the day of the collection.
If we missed your collection by mistake, we will reschedule your collection for the next working day after you report the problem.
You can report a food waste collection problem online.
We will not return if the collection was not our mistake, for example if your food waste bin was:
- not left for collection at the front of your property with your recycling bin
- contaminated with something other than food waste
- over-filled, preventing the lid from closing
In these cases we will put a tag on your bin to explain why it was not collected. You will then have to wait for your next collection.
