Litter bin emptying
Havering Council is reviewing litter bin emptying in Romford following a councillor's query in March 2026.
Havering Council is reviewing the frequency and effectiveness of litter bin emptying in Romford town centre, the process for managing public waste containers. This follows a query by Councillor Judith Holt in March 2026 regarding current arrangements.
Councillor Barry Muggleston, Cabinet Member for Environment, stated that bins are emptied based on location and footfall, with operatives monitoring daily from 5 am to 7 pm to ensure they are emptied frequently enough to prevent overflow. No further discussions on this topic are currently scheduled at Havering Council or other councils.
