Lewisham Council bulky waste disposal service
Lewisham Council is implementing changes to its bulky waste service to reduce costs and combat fly-tipping.
Lewisham Council decided in October 2025 to implement changes to its bulky waste disposal service, which aims to reduce costs and combat fly-tipping. This decision, made at a Mayor and Cabinet meeting, followed resident feedback regarding collection costs and limited recycling site access. A single item pickup charge of £5 is set to be introduced once the council's website is updated.
The changes were presented by Councillor Louise Krupski, Deputy Mayor and Cabinet Member for Environment, Transport and Climate Action. Under the new scheme, residents will be able to have a single item collected. No further details on the implementation timeline or upcoming discussions have been reported.
