Summer bank holiday waste and recycling collections

There will be no changes to the schedule of waste and recycling collections following the summer bank holiday on Monday 31 August.

We'll continue to collect residential waste on your usual collection day. Check your collection day using the My Richmond tool, or download the free My Richmond app.

If you're not sure, you can find out how to store and present your waste and recycling for collection.

Townmead Road Reuse and Recycling Centre

Townmead Road will remain open, and residents will need to book a slot in advance. Slots will be limited over the bank holiday weekend, so it is advised to book early.

Recycling, reuse and DIY

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 reuse point. Donated items will be redistributed back into the community by local groups.

Clothes can be taken to The Fixery for repairs. You can also find your nearest Traid textile bank or request a free Traid doorstep collection.

If you have any household or garden DIY plans over the bank holiday, 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.
