Important - refuse collection changes #Brent side of #Cricklewood Broadway brent.gov.uk/services-for-residents/recycling-and-waste/timed-waste-and-recycling-collections/ Dear Residents As part of our programme of works, we are getting ready to implement timed waste collections on Cricklewood Broadway at the end of October. All of Cricklewood Broadway, from numbers 1-317 on the Brent side of the road, will be included. The times for the collections will be 7am- 8am in the morning and 7pm to 8pm in the evening. The intention of timed waste collections is to make streets cleaner and free of dumped rubbish by restricting the times shops and those living above shops can put their waste out for collection. Currently, there are no restrictions and bags are placed on the street from morning to night. Under this scheme, bags can only be collected between two one-hour time slots per day. Residents and businesses can only put their bags out in the half hour before these time slots. This will be monitored and will mean the streets are free of bags at all other times. The intervals have been settled upon because they fit with Veolia’s main morning and evening operations and also the contractual requirement that town centres should be free of rubbish by 8am. It also means that residents here will get many opportunities to have their waste collected, i.e. twice per day, every day of the week. They will also enjoy cleaner streets as a result. The initiative was also agreed with Veolia as part of the means of facilitating their main contract target commitments, i.e. reducing residual waste and making streets cleaner. The initiative in Cricklewood Broadway will become live from Monday 27th October. Veolia will spend two weeks prior to this date talking with businesses and residents who will be affected, making sure they understand the new rules and helping them with any questions they may have. We will also advise all the waste collection companies who operate in the area. We will have an officer dedicated to monitoring, advising and enforcing the new requirements from this date.
