Camden Council has brought in new rubbish and recycling collection times for businesses and residents on Tottenham Court Road.
The council says it began on 28 April with a roll-out of time-slots for waste collections to help make 11 of the borough’s busiest streets cleaner.
“Time-banded waste collections mean residents and businesses must only put their recycling and rubbish out for collection at specific times of the day. Collections will take place shortly after the end of each time band,” says Camden.
“This system ensures that waste is left outside for the shortest time possible before collection and helps keep our streets clean.”
The new rules will operate seven-days-a-week, giving residents and businesses in these areas specific time slots each day to put out their recycling and rubbish for collection.
The rules include businesses that have private waste contractors.
“All households and business properties covered by the time-banded collections will receive a letter informing them of the new collection time rules. Signs will also be installed in the areas,” says Camden.
Businesses and residents on Tottenham Court Road should only put their recycling and rubbish out for collection between: 5.30am and 6am for the morning collection; and from 6.30pm and 7pm for the evening collection.
Camden says it will strike down with great vengeance and furious anger upon anyone who breaches the new rubbish and recycling regulations.
“There’s no excuse for fly-tipping and littering in Camden — offenders face fines and prosecution.
“Fly-tipping can be anything dumped on the street, from a bag of rubbish to furniture. This includes recycling and rubbish bags that are put out at the wrong time or in the wrong place.
“Our enforcement teams are taking action to keep your streets clean,” says the council.
