LBH Waste and Recycling update

Waste and recycling update – Jul 2026
Expanding household waste services

We’re giving you more choice and making it easier to dispose of your household waste. From Wednesday 15 July, residents can use the Space Waye Reuse and Recycling Centre near Heathrow. 
The centre is open seven days a week, increasing access to waste and recycling services across the borough. 
We’ve also made our Pop-Up Waste Drop service permanent following a successful trial, where almost 29 tonnes of unwanted and bulky waste (equivalent to 1,800 washing machines) was collected from more than 920 visitors at 10 sessions. 
The free-to-use service will continue every two weeks, rotating across targeted locations throughout the borough. Look up your nearest session and see what you can bring. 

 
Improvements at civic amenity site

Work to enhance accessibility to our Harefield Civic Amenity Site is set to begin this autumn, paving the way for future upgrades that will further improve residents’ experience. 
The first phase will see New Years Green Lane road widened to help alleviate traffic and reduce peak time congestion at the junction with Harvil Road, increasing safety for all road users. 
A section of the road immediately to the south of the facility will need to be temporarily closed to allow for the works to be carried out, but residents will still be able to access it via Harvil Road.  
The upgrade will also enable the next phase of approved plans for land next to the site to begin, including the demolition of unused buildings to create new staff facilities, an education hub, and new recycling bays.

2. Diversion route will be in place via High Street, Kingsend, Ickenham Road.

Nothing in the Order shall apply to prevent vehicular access to premises on or
adjacent to the prohibited length of road insofar as access is reasonably

The temporary restriction will be in operation between 08:00hrs on the 18th July 2026 to 17:00hrs, on the 2nd August 2026 and to such extent as indicated by traffic signs prescribed by the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2016.
