Double Street Cleaning
Wandsworth Labour will guarantee to keep your weekly bin collections and will double street cleaning on residential roads and estates, so every road gets at least two sweeps per week.
Following a successful pilot, we are proud to announce that Wandsworth Labour will roll out a same day sweep across the whole borough to make sure your streets are tidy and clean by the time you get home from work.
In addition to the pledges on your waste and recycling collections, Wandsworth Labour will continue to keep your streets cleaner, by:
- Increasing our crackdown on fly-tipping with more enforcement, issuing more and higher fines and expand the use of CCTV to catch illegal fly-tippers
- Expanding our successful free Mega Skip Days
- Implementing London’s biggest roads and pavements resurfacing programme, bringing all pavements up to the same good standard by 2030 — paid for by the taxes we collect from property developers.
We pride ourselves on getting the basics right. Helping you keep your home and neighbourhood clear of rubbish through simple and convenient solutions — and it’s working. Over the last 4 years, Wandsworth Labour has:
- Improved recycling by 25%, the biggest increase in London
- Introduced two Free Bulky Waste collections per household, with almost 30,000 bookings in the last year
- Achieved 20% reduction in fly-tipping
- Started weekly food waste collections, recycling 6,000 tonnes
- Doubled our street and pavement resurfacing programme
- Doubled the number of collections for flats above shops in busy town centres.
