Request household waste bins or bags
The Council has suspended waste container deliveries until further notice, due to reduced staffing levels as a result of sickness absence, and the need to use our available staff to prioritise the most important waste collection services. This will delay provision of new bins and bags for all collection services.
We will restore the service as soon as possible, and will provide updates on our website as the situation changes. We are sorry for the inconvenience this may cause, and will aim to prioritise existing requests in the coming weeks, where resources are available. If you have previously made a request for delivery of bins or bags, this may take longer than usual before we re able to make your delivery. You can find regular updates on waste services on our coronavirus waste collections page.
We can prioritise a small number of deliveries for new properties or other obviously urgent needs, but will not replace damaged containers that can still be used, until deliveries are resumed. If you have an urgent need for a container, please send an email to environmentalcustom@southwark.gov.uk with details of why your request is urgent.
