May bank holidays waste and recycling collections

There will be no changes to the schedule of waste and recycling collections following the two May bank holidays on Monday 5 May and Monday 26 May 2025.

We will continue to collect residential waste on your usual collection day. You can find out your collection day by downloading the free My Richmond app.

Find out how to store and present your waste and recycling for collection.

Townmead Road Reuse and Recycling Centre will remain open, and residents will need to book a slot in advance. Slots will be limited over the bank holiday weekend. It's advised to book a slot early.

Recycling, reuse and DIY

Planning your spring clean over the bank holiday weekend? Recycle unwanted small electrical items at one of our 30 community banks or through your weekly kerbside collections.

You can also now drop off certain items in good condition at Townmead Road’s new reuse point. Donated items will be redistributed back into the community by local groups.

If household and garden DIY plans are in store, rent over 30 useful items - like a pressure washer, carpet cleaner, drills and hedge trimmers - instead of buying new at our Library of Things in Twickenham.

Sign up to our waste and recycling mailing list for local service updates and opportunities.
