Timed waste collections: Information for landlords and businesses
Information for landlords
If you are a landlord and the bins or bags at your property are usually collected from the street, it is your responsibility to tell your tenants to comply with the timed collections.
Information for businesses
If your business uses a bin, these changes will not affect you. Businesses located on streets operating under the timed collection service are required to follow the same timed collection service as residents who live in flats above shops. Residents living above shops have been provided with orange and purple bags, for residential waste only. If a business is found to be using these bags, enforcement action will be taken.
You need to put out your Newham approved, green commercial waste bags, or the bags provided by your private contractor, during the permitted times on the collection days. If you use a private company to collect your waste, you must make sure that they know there are timed collections in operation in the area.
Business waste presented outside of the allocated times or in residential/non-trade bags, will be treated as illegal dumping known as fly tipping and will be subject to enforcement action.
Updated times and service information will be clearly displayed on updated street signs. Which you will need to place your waste below.
