Lambeth collects recycling and food waste weekly, with general rubbish every fortnight. A blue or green bin (or clear sacks) takes all your mixed recycling in one, and garden waste is a paid service. Much of the borough is flats using communal bins.
The London Borough of Lambeth collects the black bin (general non-recyclable waste) every fortnight for wheelie-bin homes, or weekly for sack collections. Mixed dry recycling (a blue or green bin, or clear sacks — paper, card, glass, tins, cans and plastic bottles, pots, tubs and trays, loose) is collected weekly. Food waste is collected weekly using a kitchen caddy and outdoor bin (houses and maisonettes now; expanding to all estates by May 2026). Garden waste is a paid subscription, collected weekly for subscribers. Many Brixton, Clapham and Stockwell blocks use communal bins. Present containers by 6am on collection day.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Lambeth. You can also check the council's own page at lambeth.gov.uk.
