Waste and recycling collections for summer bank holiday in Richmond

Richmond upon Thames will see no changes to the schedule of waste and recycling collections during the upcoming summer bank holiday on Monday 25^th August. Residential waste will continue to be collected on the same collection day. Check you day using the My Richmond tool, or download the free My Richmond app.

If you’re not sure, you can find out how to store and present your waste and recycling for collection. Townmead Road Reuse and Recycling Centre will remain open, and residents will need to book a slot in advance. Slots will be limited over the bank holiday weekend, so it is advised to book early.

A new initiative helping Londoners develop skills, gain experience, and access employment opportunities.

Climate Action Microgrants Applications Open

Funding is now available to support community-led climate action projects across London.

You can recycle unwanted small electrical items at one of the borough’s 30 community banks or through your weekly kerbside collections. You can also now drop off certain items in good condition at Townmead Road’s reuse point. Donated items will be redistributed back into the community by local groups.

If you have any household or garden DIY plans over the bank holiday, rent over 30 useful items – like a pressure washer, carpet cleaner, drills and hedge trimmers – instead of buying new at our Library of Things in Twickenham.
