Never miss a Wandsworth bin day again

Wandsworth collects rubbish, recycling and food waste all weekly. It's a dense borough with lots of flats, so most homes use clear recycling sacks or communal bins rather than colour-coded wheelie bins. Food waste is collected weekly and free.

How Wandsworth bin collections work

The London Borough of Wandsworth collects general rubbish (black sacks or communal refuse bins) weekly, and mixed dry recycling (clear recycling sacks, or orange-lidded communal recycling bins on estates — paper, card, glass bottles and jars, tins, cans and plastics, loose) weekly. Food waste is collected weekly using a silver kitchen caddy and an outdoor or communal food bin, provided free to all households (borough-wide from 31 March 2026). Some blocks of flats with communal bins receive two or three collections a week. Garden waste is a separate service and isn't collected with normal household waste. Present sacks and caddies by 6:30am, or after 6:30pm the night before.
