Chelsea falls under Kingston City for waste and recycling collections.
Visit Kingston City website for the official policy and any service updates.
Soft plastics make up roughly 5% of household rubbish by weight.
Shopping bags, cling wrap, and bread bags aren't recyclable via kerbside collection. Many supermarkets run soft plastics drop-off programs as an alternative.
General waste catches up next week, but Kingston City collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Kingston City may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
No. Unbroken bottles and jars belong in the yellow bin, but broken glass is a hazard for sorting staff. Wrap it in newspaper, seal it in a bag and put it in the general waste bin.
Collection routes are planned street by street, so two nearby addresses can sit on different runs, and near a boundary they can even sit in different councils. Collection days in Chelsea vary by street, so check your exact address. Confirm with your own address rather than copying the neighbours.
