Help us choose Wandsworth's new litter bin locations

Overview

Fighting Litter, Together

Wandsworth Council is seeking your views on the best locations for new street litter bins to tackle litter hotspots. As a listening Council, we’re asking you for your feedback and we will use this information to plan our roll out of new litter bins to help keep Wandsworth’s streets clean.

Cleaner Borough Plan

The installation of these bins is a key step in our Cleaner Borough Plan, working to enhance the cleanliness of your streets, ensuring that we keep Wandsworth special.

As part of this ambitious plan, we have already guaranteed your weekly waste, recycling and food waste collections whilst maintaining the lowest Council Tax in the country. With your help, we have also collected over 5,000 tonnes of extra recycling since June 2024. This has created a cost saving of over £1.2million which we are reinvesting into making your streets cleaner.

With your feedback we will be installing new litter bins in areas of need, such as town centres and high traffic areas, to reduce litter and encourage people to dispose of their waste responsibly. We want your views on where we should put them.

Your suggested locations

Tell us where you would like a new litter bin in your local area. All wards are being considered for new litter bins, so we welcome your thoughts on where they should go.

Based on suggestions we have already received, we are also asking you about 50 locations for new litter bins and we want to hear from you.

The full list of these proposed locations can be found below. Please have a look at these suggestions and let us know if you agree.

• Your local Councillor suggestions
• Litter hotspots
• Feedback from our street cleaning teams
• Which authority is responsible for the carriageway and kerbside
• The existing street cleansing schedule, including: daily street cleanses, jet washing, bin collections
• Areas with good pavement width to allow for pavement users to pass
• Areas with high footfall and popular infrastructure
• Areas close to town centres, high streets and local amenities
• Away from the front of residential homes

What happens next

The final decision on where the litter bins should go will be based on several factors, including the feedback we receive to this survey.

This consultation will be open for 5 weeks and the bins will be installed this summer. If you provide your email address we will contact you with the results.
