Recycling services

How do I recycle?

How you recycle in Westminster depends on what kind of property you live in.

Some areas have a doorstep service and some have large communal recycling bins.

Doorstep recycling:

Westminster's doorstep service collects recycling from your door once a week.

You just need to collect all your recycling in your recycling bag or basket and leave it out for collection on the right day.

If you need more information or you need a new basket or more disposable blue bags call the Environmental Action Line on 020 7641 2000. We aim to deliver your basket or disposable bags within 10 working days.

Estate recycling:

Most estates now have a mixed recycling bin for residents.

You will have been given a reusable bag to collect your recycling in. (Contact your estate office to collect your bags.)

The bins on the estates are used to collect all sorts of recycling and you don’t need to separate it.

Where is my nearest micro-recycling centre?

Using your bin:

• Remember the bins are in residential areas. Please use them within the following times to keep noise to a minimum.
  Monday - Friday: 8am - 8pm
  Weekends: 10am - 8pm
• Do not leave any rubbish, apart from recyclables, at the centres.
• Rinse food tins and jars before recycling them.
• Put the right item in the right bin. If the materials get mixed up, the whole bank will have to be rejected.
