Lewisham Bin Collection Dates, Current Set-Out Time & Missed Bin Help
For most Lewisham kerbside homes, recycling and food waste are collected every week while general rubbish is collected every other week. Your exact dates still depend on the property, so check the live Council address finder before putting anything out.
This guide explains the current 5:30am hot-weather override, normal 6am rule, green and black bins, food-waste rollout, missed-bin deadline, garden subscription, replacement bins, bulky collections, assisted help, clinical waste and Landmann Way.
Lewisham Bin Collection Live Alerts: August 2026
Temporary early start: Lewisham’s current waste pages are asking residents to put bins out by 5:30am instead of 6am because crews are starting earlier during hot weather.
This is a temporary instruction “until further notice”. The permanent service standard remains 6am, so recheck the live Council page once the hot-weather notice disappears.
Recycling-bin supply alert
Lewisham is also currently warning that new green recycling-bin orders are temporarily paused because of high demand and lack of stock.
Some previously placed orders have exceeded the normal 20-working-day delivery target. Check the bin-order page again before assuming the pause is still in force later.
Lewisham Bin Collection 2026: Quick Answer
Most standard kerbside properties: green recycling weekly, grey food waste weekly and black general rubbish every other week.
General rubbish can remain weekly where a property does not yet have the separate food-waste service. Communal properties and estates can also have building-specific arrangements.
| Service | Container | Usual frequency | Key point |
|---|---|---|---|
| Recycling | 240L green bin / clear sacks / communal recycling | Weekly | Clean, accepted recycling only. |
| Food waste | 23L grey outdoor caddy + indoor caddy | Weekly | Building rollout applies to some flats/estates. |
| General rubbish | 180L black bin / orange sacks / communal refuse | Usually every other week | Can remain weekly where there is no food-waste service. |
| Garden waste | 240L brown subscribed bin | Weekly | Current 2026/27 subscription £100.63. |
How to Check Your Lewisham Bin Collection Day
-
Open Lewisham’s live collection finder.
Use the Council tool rather than manually calculating a future date. -
Enter a postcode or full street name.
If using the street name, type it in full—for example, “Bargery Road” rather than “Bargery Rd”. -
Do not type the house or flat number into the initial search field.
Choose the exact address after the Council returns matching properties. -
If checking a flat, scroll through the full address list.
Lewisham notes that addresses containing flats appear at the bottom of the selection list. -
Check every waste stream.
Rubbish, recycling, food and garden waste do not all use the same frequency. -
Recheck temporary notices.
Hot weather, Christmas or another disruption can affect the normal instructions.
What Time Should Lewisham Bins Be Put Out?
Current temporary rule on 20 August 2026: 5:30am. The Council’s live pages say crews are starting early during hot weather.
Normal permanent service standard: before 6am. Once the temporary alert ends, the normal 6am deadline applies again unless Lewisham publishes another instruction.
Where should containers go?
- At the edge or boundary of the property.
- Visible to the collection crew.
- Clear of parked cars and obstructions.
- With wheelie-bin lids closed.
- At the agreed communal location for flats or estates.
Will the crew enter the property?
Not for a normal kerbside collection. Crews only collect from inside the normal property boundary where an assisted-collection arrangement has been approved.
After collection
Return the bin to its normal storage area rather than leaving it permanently on the pavement.

Red tag on your recycling bin?
A red tag means the container was rejected because incorrect material was found.
Remove the contamination and present the corrected bin on its next scheduled collection date rather than reporting it as a normal missed collection.
Lewisham Food Waste: Weekly Grey Caddy Collection
Food waste is collected every week where the service is active.
Standard kerbside containers
- 23L grey outdoor food-waste caddy.
- Small indoor kitchen caddy.
Food accepted
- Fruit and vegetables
- Peelings
- Cooked and uncooked leftovers
- Bread and cake
- Rice, pasta and beans

Can I use a liner?
Yes. Lewisham says lining the indoor caddy is optional and permits a clear bag such as a bread bag, or newspaper.
The Council says households receive one starter roll of liners when the service is introduced, but liners are not routinely supplied forever.
The liner rule is a specific caddy-use instruction. It does not mean loose plastic packaging belongs in the food-waste stream.
Reduce smells and pests
- Keep the indoor caddy out of direct sunlight.
- Close the lid after every use.
- Squeeze excess water from hot tea bags.
- Wash the caddy in hot soapy water after emptying.
- A small amount of bicarbonate of soda can help control smells.
- Lock the outdoor caddy lid against foxes and pests.
What happens to the food?
Lewisham sends separately collected food waste to anaerobic digestion, where it is used to produce renewable energy and nutrient-rich fertiliser.
Lewisham Food Waste, Rubbish and Recycling for Flats
Food-waste rollout is still property-specific
Lewisham’s dedicated rollout material says food-waste recycling is being introduced across blocks and estates, and its Summer 2026 update said all Council-owned blocks were expected to be included by midsummer.
Another Council bin-contents page still contains older wording saying estate properties do not yet receive food-waste collection.
Because those official pages are not fully synchronised, the safest rule is to follow the containers and start-date letter actually issued to your building.
Where the flat service has started
Most blocks receive an indoor caddy plus a shared communal food-waste container.
Some ground-floor maisonettes can receive an indoor caddy plus an individual 23L outside food bin.
Communal-bin basics
- Use only the bins supplied to the building.
- Follow labels on communal containers.
- Keep access around the bin store clear.
- Keep rubbish inside the refuse container.
- Keep recycling clean and dry.
- Flatten cardboard.
- Do not dump furniture in the communal bin area.
Damaged communal bin?
For flats and estates, Lewisham directs residents to their landlord/managing agent and also lists recycle@lewisham.gov.uk for recycling-service advice.
Flat above a shop with no wheelie-bin storage
Lewisham supplies orange sacks for rubbish and clear sacks for recycling.
The Council normally delivers these quarterly, usually around March, June, September and December.
Lewisham Black Rubbish Bin: General Waste
For most standard kerbside homes that have food-waste recycling, the 180L black general-waste bin is collected every other week.
Important exception
Lewisham’s July 2026 missed-bin page says general rubbish can remain weekly where the household does not have a separate food-waste service.
Use the black bin only for household waste that has no better route
Remove recyclable, food, electrical, hazardous and bulky material before filling the general-waste bin.
Do not put these in general rubbish
- Batteries
- Car or cooking oil
- Gas canisters
- DIY waste and rubble
- Liquids
- Recyclable materials
- Food waste where food recycling is provided
- Textiles
- Small electrical items
- Garden waste
- Large furniture
- Large electrical appliances
- Paint, chemicals or hazardous waste
Extra Waste and Overflow: Do Not Guess the Side-Waste Rule
Lewisham’s official pages currently conflict on extra recycling.
The February service standards say extra recycling can be left in clear bags when the green bin is full. A newer July Cleaner Lewisham enforcement page says residents should not leave waste or recycling next to or on top of bins because it can be treated as fly-tipping.
Safest current approach
- Fit accepted recycling into the green bin where possible.
- Flatten bulky cardboard.
- Do not leave general rubbish beside the black bin.
- Do not leave loose material beside recycling banks.
- If you regularly need more recycling capacity, check the current bin-order route when stock reopens.
- If unsure whether side recycling will be accepted on your route, use Landmann Way or ask the Council rather than risking an enforcement problem.
Private waste collector?
If you pay somebody to remove household waste, check that they are a registered waste carrier and keep evidence of the transaction.
Lewisham Missed Bin: Wait Until 1pm, Report Within 48 Hours
Current dedicated missed-bin rule: wait until 1pm before reporting, then submit the report within 48 hours.
The February service-standard page and PDF still say 2pm. The dedicated missed-bin page was updated on 22 July 2026 and says 1pm, so this guide follows the newer task-specific instruction.
Before reporting, check
- The container was actually due.
- It was outside by the required presentation time.
- It was at the property edge or agreed communal point.
- No red contamination tag was left.
- The bin was not excessively heavy.
- Access was not blocked.
- The contents were allowed.
- Nearby properties were not part of a wider delay.
More than one bin missed?
Report each missed container separately.
Red contamination tag?
Remove the incorrect items and present the bin on its next scheduled collection. A rejected contaminated container is not the same as a genuine missed collection.
Council crew damaged your kerbside bin?
Lewisham says the crew should leave a postcard and automatically schedule the repair or replacement. You do not need to make another damage report in that situation.
You lost or damaged it yourself?
Use the bin-order service instead.
Lewisham Garden Waste 2026/27: Price, Frequency and Rules
Current live checkout price: £100.63 for 2026/27.
The subscribed service runs until 31 March 2027 and provides weekly garden-waste collection.
Lewisham’s general bin-order page still displays an older annual figure of £96.02. The current subscription transaction charges £100.63, so this guide uses the price a resident is actually being asked to pay now.

Permit sticker

Direct Debit in August 2026
The current form states that the 2026/27 Direct Debit signup window ran from 1 April to 24 May 2026.
Because that window has passed, use whatever payment option the live transaction now makes available rather than assuming instalments can still be started.
Cheaper alternative: home composting
Lewisham currently sells a 220L home compost bin for £10. It is 90cm high and 74cm in diameter.
Lewisham New and Replacement Bins: £30 Fees and Current Delays
| Container | Standard entitlement | Current position |
|---|---|---|
| Black rubbish bin | One 180L bin | £30 administration fee |
| Green recycling bin | One 240L bin | £30 administration fee; new orders currently paused |
| Grey outdoor food bin | One 23L bin where applicable | Free |
| Indoor food caddy | Provided with food service | Free as applicable |
| Brown garden bin | Subscription service | £30 replacement-bin figure shown on order page |
Important ownership point
The £30 rubbish/recycling payment is an administration charge. The Council retains ownership of the container.
Normal delivery target
The current bin-request form states a normal delivery target of within 20 working days after payment.
The live stock alert currently warns that some green recycling-bin customers are waiting longer than 20 days.
Crew damaged the bin?
Where Council collection staff damage the container, Lewisham says it will arrange a replacement free of charge.
Fault discovered just after delivery?
The current form asks residents to report a faulty newly delivered container within two working days for free replacement.
Number the bin
Lewisham recommends clearly marking the container with the house number to reduce loss or accidental swapping.
Ordering for the wrong property type
The individual household form is intended mainly for houses and flats in converted houses.
Estates, small blocks and new developments generally use communal containers, so contact the housing or managing service if that describes your property.
Persistent misuse
If Lewisham removed a recycling or food container after repeated misuse and warning letters, the Council says it will not simply issue another one through the normal order process.
Lewisham Assisted Bin Collection
Lewisham can move household bins from an agreed accessible storage point to the kerb and return them for residents who cannot do this because of frailty, disability or physical impairment.
Who is the service for?
It is intended for a household where the resident cannot move the containers and nobody else living there can reasonably put them out or retrieve them.
Information Lewisham asks for
- Your address.
- Why assistance is required.
- Which containers you need help with.
- Where those containers are stored.
- Confirmation the crew can reach them safely.
- Clearly visible house numbers on the containers.
Crews cannot collect assisted bins from the rear of a property. The agreed storage location must be readily accessible.
Allow about 10 working days for the assisted service to be arranged.

Place booked items at the front of the building. If building rules prevent this, arrange an accessible unlocked bin chamber with the manager and clearly explain the collection location in the booking.
Payment and cancellation
The bulky-waste fee is non-refundable, including when the resident cancels the booking.
A booking can be rescheduled up to two working days before collection.
Collection did not happen?
Lewisham says bulky non-collections are investigated only up to five days after the scheduled collection date.
Lewisham Clinical, Sharps and Hazardous Waste
Clinical collection needs healthcare referral
A GP, nurse or healthcare practitioner must assess the waste and refer the household where a specialist clinical collection is required.
Sharps
Never put loose needles, syringes or sharps into household rubbish or recycling.
- Use a sealed sharps container.
- Lewisham currently collects yellow-lidded sharps boxes.
- Other lid colours should be referred back to the healthcare provider.
- Never place sharps loosely inside clinical sacks.
Infectious waste
Examples can include blood products, body fluids, microbiological waste, pathological waste and certain dialysis waste. The healthcare professional decides whether specialist collection is required.
Offensive but non-infectious waste
Items such as nappies, incontinence pads, sanitary waste and non-infectious protective garments can normally be double-bagged, sealed and put in the household refuse stream.
Unused medicines
Return unused pharmaceutical products to the pharmacy that dispensed them.
Cytotoxic waste
Purple-lidded cytotoxic sharps containers are not collected through Lewisham’s normal household clinical service. Contact the healthcare provider.
Other hazardous household waste
Some items have a Landmann Way route. Asbestos, boxed chemicals and other materials outside the site’s acceptance rules use the City of London household hazardous-waste service.
Batteries, Electricals, Clothes and Textiles
Batteries and small electrical items do not belong in Lewisham’s green recycling or black household rubbish bins.
Batteries and electricals
Use Landmann Way, a suitable electrical recycling bank, retailer take-back or another current specialist recycling route.
Remove personal data first
Lewisham’s A-Z reminds residents that data removal from old phones and other devices is the owner’s responsibility before donation or recycling.
Clothes and textiles
Do not put clothes, shoes or textiles in household rubbish or green recycling.
Reuse suitable items through charity shops, textile banks or another current reuse route.
Landmann Way Reuse and Recycling Centre
No booking is currently required. The site is free for Lewisham residents disposing of qualifying domestic household waste.

Household Waste Carriers and Fly-Tipping
Do not leave unwanted rubbish beside household bins or full recycling banks.
Lewisham’s current enforcement guidance says waste or recycling left beside/on top of a bin can be treated as fly-tipping.
Paying somebody to take waste?
- Check that the carrier is registered.
- Keep their details.
- Keep a receipt or payment record.
- Record the vehicle registration where practical.
- Do not hand household waste to an unknown unlicensed collector.
Householders can face enforcement consequences if their waste is later illegally dumped.
Lewisham Bank Holiday and Christmas Bin Collections
Do not assume every Lewisham Bank Holiday follows the same rule. The Council publishes date-specific changes.
Easter 2026 example
Collections from Monday 6 April through Friday 10 April moved one day later, while the preceding Monday 30 March-Friday 3 April period remained unchanged.
Christmas 2026 / New Year 2027
A final new festive timetable was not verified during this 20 August 2026 review.
Do not reuse Christmas 2025/New Year 2026 dates. Check the property calendar and a new dated Council notice when the festive timetable is published.
Safe holiday routine
- Check your exact property again.
- Look for a current dated Council notice.
- Check rubbish, recycling, food and garden separately.
- Follow any temporary early-start alert.
- Check Landmann Way opening independently.

Lewisham Bin Collection FAQs
How do I check my Lewisham bin collection day?
Use Lewisham Council’s collection finder. Enter your postcode or full street name, choose the exact property and check rubbish, recycling, food and subscribed garden waste separately.
What time should Lewisham bins be put out?
The normal service standard is before 6am, but on 20 August 2026 Lewisham’s live pages still display a temporary hot-weather instruction asking residents to put bins out by 5:30am. Follow the temporary alert while it remains active.
How often is recycling collected in Lewisham?
Recycling is normally collected weekly from standard kerbside properties. Flats and estates use their building-specific communal or sack arrangements.
How often is general rubbish collected in Lewisham?
For standard kerbside properties with food-waste recycling, general rubbish is normally collected every other week. Lewisham’s July 2026 guidance says rubbish can remain weekly where the property does not have food-waste service.
Can I use a clear plastic bag in a Lewisham food caddy?
Yes. Lewisham specifically says lining the caddy is optional and permits clear bags such as bread bags or newspaper. This is a caddy-liner instruction; ordinary plastic food packaging should not be added as food waste.
When can I report a missed Lewisham bin?
The newest dedicated missed-collection page says wait until 1pm and report within 48 hours. Older service standards still say 2pm, so this guide follows the newer July 2026 task-specific page.
Can I leave extra recycling next to my Lewisham green bin?
Lewisham’s official pages currently conflict. February service standards allow extra recycling in clear bags, while a newer July enforcement page warns against leaving waste or recycling beside bins. The safest option is to check current Council instructions, use available bin capacity or Landmann Way rather than assuming side recycling is accepted.
How much is Lewisham garden waste in 2026/27?
The current 2026/27 payment transaction charges £100.63 for the service running until 31 March 2027. Garden waste is collected weekly. A separate general bin-order page still displays the older £96.02 figure.
How much is Lewisham bulky waste collection?
The current charge is £5 per mattress, £5 per other accepted large item such as a sofa or chair, and £25 per fridge or freezer. American-style and double-door fridge/freezers are excluded and the booking fee is non-refundable.
Do I need to book Landmann Way Recycling Centre?
No. Current Lewisham guidance says no booking is required. The site is free for Lewisham residents, but visitors need photo ID and proof of address. Vans are currently limited to four visits per year.
