Getting Cleaner with Southwark Cleaning
 Southwark is now one of the top four cleanest boroughs in London with:
- improved rubbish collections
- a 24/7 street cleaning service
- an education programme about the impact of litter
- an effective and robust enforcement team.
Let’s continue to work together to keep it this way.
Report envirocrimes
Play your part and help make Southwark a cleaner, greener borough by reporting any environmental issues in your neighbourhood, such as litter, graffiti, dumped rubbish, abandoned vehicles and dog fouling.
See it, report it: call 020 7525 2000 (24 hours) or report it online.
How does the service work?
All Southwark roads have been categorised according to how busy they are and entered onto a cleaning schedule so they can be managed more effectively. We've also introduced set response times for specific types of problems, for example:
- Fly Tips, removed within 24 hours of being reported
- Graffiti, Racist/Obscene, removed within four working hours
- Graffiti, Standard, removed within 24 hours of being reported.
Street cleaning
Southwark Cleaning are looking at how to improve street cleaning to an even higher standard and are looking at using a different method of street cleaning.
Unfortunately the street service search has been suspended temporarily whilst we collate a brand new schedule. We are sorry for any inconveniance this may cause.
