Executive Director of Environment, Civic Pride and Climate
Merton Council is currently extending its environmental enforcement contract and increasing resources for bulky waste collection.
Merton Council's Cabinet approved a two-year extension to its environmental enforcement contract with Kingdom Local Authority Services in September 2026, continuing services until April 2029. This decision, made on September 21, 2026, also includes a plan to procure stray and abandoned dog services separately from April 2027 to obtain better value for money.
Also in September 2026, Merton Council's Cabinet approved a £92,000 variation to its waste collection contract with Veolia for the 2026/27 financial year. This enhancement for the free bulky waste service will deploy an extra vehicle and two additional staff, effectively doubling resources to increase capacity and tackle fly-tipping.
