Green garden waste temporary sites
To provide you with improved local services and to reduce traffic congestion at the reuse and recycling centres, we operate five green garden waste collection sites every weekend from April until November. All the waste collected at these sites will be composted.
Alternatively, why not compost at home? You can also dispose of garden waste through our collection service.
Details
These sites will only receive bagged, green garden waste from residents with a Bromley waste permit. Please do not put your garden waste in builders' sacks, as these are too heavy to be lifted safely.
No commercial garden waste will be accepted.
