Recycling and Waste Collections

Our comprehensive waste and recycling collections cover the Hounslow area, collecting from the borough’s 110,000+ homes. Through the Council we offer a range of services designed to suit different geographies, with ‘kerbside’ homes receiving alternate weekly refuse collections and weekly segregated recycling collections including food waste, Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), paper, card, glass, cans, plastic and textiles, as well as a subscription only garden waste service and coffee pod collection service.

Most other homes receive communal collections of refuse and segregated recycling and we’re proactively rolling out communal food collections to these properties too. Information for Hounslow residents on these services can be found here.

Operating since 2016 we have improved our service performance year on year, with successful first-time collections typically at 99.8% and extremely low complaint levels. 

Our collections are designed to maximise diversion from landfill and incineration to reuse, recycling and composting and we work closely with the council to encourage service users to make the most of the collections on offer. We can only succeed in meeting challenging recycling targets if everyone does their bit! Not only is recycling and composting better for the environment, but it creates jobs, reduces disposal cost and reduces dependency on virgin materials, encouraging the growth of a circular economy.

If you run a business in or around Hounslow, we also have an outstanding service just for you. Click here to find out more and get a quote from our team.
