Bromley Waste Collections
The City of Bromley provides household trash collection services once a week according to the Bromley Bin Collection Schedule. Place all household trash in the bin and set it at the curbside by 7 AM on your scheduled collection day. Ensure that the waste is securely packed into the bin, as trash coming out of the bin will result in missed collection. To avoid this, do not overfill your trash bin and only place bins with closed lids at the curbside to reduce litter.
For safe collection, pack all household waste into refuse sacks before placing them in the bin. Position your bin in a visible location that is easily accessible to the collection truck. When placing your bin, leave a clearance of 3 feet on both sides to allow the hydraulic arm to work efficiently.
Bromley Recycling Guidelines
Recycling services are provided according to the Bromley Bin Collection Schedule. Place your recycling bin at the curbside by 7 AM on your scheduled collection day. Position the bin at the edge of the street in front of your property. Only dry, clean, and empty materials should be placed in the recycling bin to reduce litter and spillage. Ensure that all items are placed loosely in the bin, as plastic bags are not allowed, as they slow down the recycling process.
Acceptable recycling materials include paper and cardboard (e.g., cardboard tubes, junk mail, leaflets, paper bags, paperback books), food materials (e.g., tea bags, coffee grounds, plate scrapings, pet food), and other items such as plastic, glass, cans, and tin. Do not place prohibited items in the recycling bin, as bins containing prohibited materials will not be collected.
