Changes to Waste Collection in Kingsbury Road.

The Council is about to change when your waste is collected if you live or have a business along the Kingsbury Road.

The next stage of timed waste collection will be implemented at the end of February.

The following sections of the road will be involved:

·         235 – 289 Kingsbury Road (odds and evens)
·         417 – 660 Kingsbury Road (odds and evens)
·         1-5 Fryent Way

 The times for the collections will be 7.00am -8.00am in the morning and 6.30pm to 7.30pm in the evening.

The intention of timed waste collections is to make streets cleaner and free of dumped rubbish by restricting the times shops and those living above shops can put their waste out for collection.

Currently, there are no restrictions and bags are placed on the street from morning to night.
Under this scheme, which operates in many of our Town centres, bags can only be collected between two one-hour time slots per day. Residents and businesses can only put their bags out in the half hour before these time slots. This will be monitored and will mean the streets are free of bags at all other times.

It also means that residents here will get many opportunities to have their waste collected, i.e. twice per day, every day of the week. They will also enjoy cleaner streets as a result.

The initiative was agreed with our contractor Veolia as part of their task to achieve their main contract target commitments, i.e. reducing residual waste and making streets cleaner.

This change will come into affect on Monday 22nd February. Veolia will spend two weeks prior to this date talking with businesses and residents who will be affected, making sure they understand the new rules and helping them with any questions they may have.

The Council will vigorously monitor and enforce the new requirements from this date.
