Easter holiday waste and recycling collections

There will be no changes to the schedule of waste and recycling collections over the Easter weekend.

We will continue to collect residential waste on your usual collection day. You can also find out your collection day by downloading the free My Richmond app.

Find out how to store and present your waste and recycling for collection. 

Townmead Road Reuse and Recycling Centre will be open from 9am on Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday. The last available slot to book is 3 to 3.30pm.

Slots will be limited over the bank holiday weekend. It's advised to book a slot early. 

Recycling, reuse and DIY over the Easter holiday

Find out how to responsibly recycle your Easter celebration waste, like cardboard and foil off Easter eggs, in our A-Z recycle guide. 

Recycle any dyed Easter eggs and other food scraps from your celebrations through our food waste recycling service. This page explains how to leave your food waste out for collection, order your caddy, what you can and can’t recycle and how to contact our team with questions. You can still pick up a free roll of compostable food waste caddy liners from your local library.

Planning your spring clean over the bank holiday weekend? Recycle unwanted small electrical items at one of our 30 community banks or through your weekly kerbside collections.

You can also now drop off certain items in good condition at Townmead Road’s new reuse point. Donated items will be redistributed back into the community by local groups.

If household and garden DIY plans are in store, rent over 30 useful items—like a pressure washer, carpet cleaner, drills and hedge trimmers—instead of buying new at our Library of Things in Twickenham. Use code BANKHOLIBORROW25 for 25% off bookings made before 18 April.
