For households above shops, or other properties without outside storage space, we provide weekly refuse collections across the borough, but we do not collect recycling.
If you have recycling, please take it to one of the nearby recycling sites or to Waldo Road reuse and recycling centre or Churchfields Road reuse and recycling centre.
If you have something bigger to dispose of and cannot give it to charity or transport it yourself, book a bulky waste collection with us. Prices vary but we’ll collect and dispose of it properly and safely for you.
Please leave your waste out for collection only on the specified collection day as the longer a refuse sack is left out, the more likely it is for problems to arise.
Also, leaving it out on a non-collection day means it could be treated as fly-tipping and you could be prosecuted.
Recycling trial
Between September 2020 and September 2021, Bromley Council piloted a flats above shops recycling collection pilot to find out whether it was possible to introduce a recycling scheme to all flats above shops properties. Unfortunately, at that time the information gathered indicated that it would not be financially viable to provide a flats above shops recycling service. However, we continue to look into other ways of making it easier to recycle for those people that live in a flat above a shop. In the meantime, please continue to use recycling sites across the borough and together we will make Bromley even greener.
