Recycling Collection Services
Why recycle?
Recycling gives things a future. Making new products from waste means we don't have to bury or burn it. This saves energy and resources, which is good for the economy and the environment.
As recycling costs less than disposing of waste, recycling more helps to keep council tax low. If people in Wandsworth suddenly stopped recycling the council's waste disposal costs would increase by over £1m. And every additional tonne you recycle currently saves another £55.
Orange recycling services
Orange recycling services let residents recycle different types of waste including paper, card, glass, cans, cartons and plastic containers without having to keep them separate.
If your rubbish is collected in ordinary dustbins or refuse sacks, please recycle all you can using the Orange Sack collection service.
If your rubbish is collected in large communal wheeled bins, please recycle all you can using the orange-lidded banks near your home. If there isn't one, please email wasteservices@wandsworth.gov.uk.
