Serco
Lambeth Council is reviewing its waste management strategy, which impacts its current contractor Serco.
Lambeth Council agreed to review its waste management strategy in October 2026, following a motion approved at a full council meeting. This comprehensive review covers waste collection, fly-tipping, and street cleansing, and will consider the potential introduction of a community mega-skip scheme and tougher enforcement measures.
The decision to review the strategy came after councillors debated and approved a motion put forward by the Liberal Democrats, which was subsequently amended by the Green and Labour groups. Councillor Matthew Bryant, who proposed the motion, highlighted the significant negative impact of fly-tipping.
Serco is the company that holds the current waste collection contract for Lambeth Council, providing outsourced public services including waste management and street cleansing. The council's review will examine its overall approach to these services.
