Make sure your rubbish is not fly-tipped
Where can items be left legally?
There are organisations and charities in and around Newham that collect usable items for free. Find out more on our donating unwanted items on our Donate to those in need – Donate your unwanted items – Newham Council webpage.
You can dispose of some items free of charge at Jenkins Lane Reuse and Recycling Centre, sometimes called ‘the Tip’.
Bulky waste and furniture collections
We offer a low-cost collection service of £30 for up to six items. Residents can leave these items within their property boundary once the booking is accepted and your ENQ number is provided. Please ensure all items are covered, clean, and bagged, as failure can result in items not being collected.
This service is significantly cheaper than private waste collection companies.
Landlords
For landlords in Newham, bulky waste collection costs £30 for the booking plus £12 per additional item, booked via Newham Council’s website. Items must be placed outside within property boundaries once the booking is accepted and your ENQ number is provided.
Please ensure all items are covered, clean, and bagged, as failure can result in items not being collected.
Make sure your rubbish is not fly-tipped
If you use a clearance company to get rid of your rubbish, check that they are a registered waste carrier. Some businesses offer waste removal but dispose of it illegally by fly-tipping around the borough. If a company illegally dumps your rubbish, you will be held responsible which may result in a fine and/or prosecution.
You can check if a waste contractor is a registered waste carrier on the Environment Agency website.
