Your Environment With your help we are working to make Southwark a cleaner, greener and safer place to live and work
We collect refuse from everyone who lives in Southwark once a
week and we collect bulky refuse for free. Find out about our
residential refuse collection service.
By keeping your streets clean, well lit and free from rubbish and graffiti we aim to make them clean and safe. Find out about
our street cleaning and street lighting service.
We have launched an ambitious project to make sure we recycle half our rubbish by 2020. Find out about Resource and our big plans for dealing with Southwark's waste.
There are over 250 recycling sites in Southwark and a door to
