Please leave your rubbish out for collection by 6am, near your front gate, but not on the pavement. Separate arrangements are in place for flats and business premises.
The Council provides a service for residents and businesses that find their access blocked by a motorist.
You will need to register your property if you have a dropped kerb – The Association’s General Secretary registered hers many years ago but was allowed to register again. This suggests that, since it is now an outsourced facility, previous registrations have not been carried forward.

On Tuesday 2 April, we’re relaunching our automatic recycling bag delivery scheme. If you currently have recycling bags or food waste caddy liners delivered, you’ll need to re-register your account. Or, if you’re new to the scheme, you’ll be able to sign up online. https://www.hillingdon.gov.uk/automatic-bag-deliveries
New and improved recycling bag deliveries On Tuesday 2 April, we will relaunch our automatic recycling bag delivery scheme for both clear dry mixed recycling bags and food waste caddy liners.
Existing users will need to re-register for the scheme and newcomers will need to sign up, which is quick and easy. You will be asked how many people live in your property and how many bags of recycling you produce in a typical week so your subscription can be tailored to the number of bags you need.
You will receive your bags in one delivery for the year as part of the new scheme, with the first deliveries beginning in June. Re-register or sign up at least one month ahead of your scheduled delivery month.

Repair and Reuse Day Our next Repair and Reuse Day takes place on Saturday 23 March at The Great Barn, Manor Farm, Ruislip from 10am to 2pm.
Learn tips and tricks for how to reduce your household waste by fixing or reusing items you might otherwise have thrown away. Our recycling team will be on hand to offer advice, along with the council’s usual partner organisations, TRAID, The Restart Party, Dr Bike, Learn Hillingdon and Freegle.
Are you recycling right? We’re working hard to improve the borough’s recycling rates and a key element of this is reducing contamination.
Contamination happens when an item which can’t be recycled is placed in with your recycling. This applies not only to items we don’t recycle, but items we can’t recycle like wet cardboard, or dirty food containers. Just one wrong item can prevent an entire bag of waste from being recycled, so check out our helpful online guide to see what you can and can’t place in your dry mixed recycling.
Don’t forget to remove your batteries We’ve extended our recycling facilities for small electricals to all of our libraries and they’re being well used, thank you.
Take unwanted small electricals, such as hair-dryers, mobile phones, cables, toasters and radios and pop them in the bright pink wheelie bins you’ll find in each branch.
Please ensure you remove any internal batteries before dropping them off and please don’t put loose batteries in either. Any batteries that go into the recycling process risk causing fires in our facilities.
An update on the pump building restoration works. The proposed work has been scheduled for 4th March, and we anticipate to complete this within four weeks.
