There is a right time and a right place for putting out rubbish on the street for collection in Westminster
Businesses should ideally use internally stored bins (containers) for their rubbish rather than putting it out in bags on the street for collection. We are fully aware of the limitations which some existing older buildings have around accommodating this. Sometimes this means there is no other option but to use the street to present rubbish bags for collection; however, we would like this practice to be kept to a minimum. Many businesses have restrictions on using the street for waste collection incorporated into their premises license conditions, planning permission or operating consent.
In order to avoid streets becoming overrun with rubbish bags, there are a few rules around when they can be placed out. These rules are the same for everyone using the street to present rubbish for collection. If you want to avoid placing your rubbish out in bags then please speak to us about the other options we have available. We want to help you do the right thing, so please let us know if we can help you.
