Bin collection in Newham Council
Newham Council collects household waste and recycling every week from around 130,000 homes across east London, including Stratford, West Ham, East Ham, Plaistow, Forest Gate, Canning Town, Green Street and the areas surrounding the 2012 Olympic Park. Both the black bin and the blue recycling bin are collected weekly. Full service information is at newham.gov.uk/bins.
The black bin accepts non-recyclable household waste — items should be bagged and the lid should close fully. The blue bin accepts mixed recycling — paper and cardboard, glass bottles and jars, plastic bottles and rigid containers, food and drink cans, and aerosols. Rinse items clean before recycling and do not bag them.
Newham is rolling out a food waste caddy service across the borough. If a food caddy collection appears in your results, it is available at your address and accepts all cooked and raw food scraps (no packaging or liquids) in compostable bags. A seasonal garden waste collection runs from March to October at eligible addresses, accepting grass clippings, leaves, hedge trimmings and small branches — no soil or food waste.
