Get ready for waste and recycling changes from October

From October, there will be changes to your waste and recycling collections service, following a successful trial and feedback from residents.

These changes are necessary and will go a long way in helping to reduce Brent’s carbon footprint and impact on the environment.

Under the new system for recycling collections, the bluetopped bin must only be used for containers, such as plastic, glass and tins. You will be given a blue sack to use for paper and cardboard.

There will also be a new free bookable collections service for all small item collections for things like textiles, batteries, small electrical items, and paint.

You will be contacted nearer the time so please do look out for information from the council.
