Find your waste and recycling collection day
Early waste collection during heatwave conditions
Due to the hot weather, waste collection will start at 5am this week (23 to 26 June) to avoid crews working in the hottest part of the day.
Please make sure your bins are out by 5am on your usual collection day - put them out the night before if easier. Report missed collections as usual, and we'll aim to collect as soon as possible.
Use the My Richmond tool to find your waste and recycling collection day. You can also find the date of your next garden recycling collection, if you're subscribed to this service.
How to leave your waste and recycling out
Check our guidance to see how you should present your waste and recycling for collection.
Some properties are not eligible for kerbside recycling.
Garden waste
Garden waste collections are made fortnightly if you're subscribed to our garden bin subscription service. Alternatively, you can buy garden sacks and book a collection when you need it.
Bank holidays
Your waste and recycling will be collected as normal on all bank holidays except Christmas Day and New Year's Day. When these fall on a week day, collections will be one day later than usual for the rest of that week.
