The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea is a densely built central-London area of flats and mansion blocks, so most homes use bagged rubbish and communal or clear-bag recycling rather than wheelie bins. Food waste is collected weekly and expanding across the borough.
The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea collects general rubbish (securely bagged, in dustbins or communal bins) and mixed dry recycling (clear recycling bags or communal recycling bins — paper, card, glass, tins, cans and plastics, loose). Because the borough is mostly flats and mansion blocks, collection frequency is high, often several times a week in central streets, and tenants or owners frequently provide their own bins. Food waste is collected weekly using a kitchen caddy and communal outdoor food bins, a service being expanded borough-wide. Garden waste is a paid subscription (limited, as few properties have gardens). It is an offence to put waste out other than on collection days — leave rubbish and recycling out before 7am on your day, not the night before.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Kensington & Chelsea. You can also check the council's own page at rbkc.gov.uk.
