Garden Waste Wheelie Bins

Reported via desktop in the Obstruction to Highway category anonymously at 08:21, Tue 25 June 2024 using FixMyStreet Pro

Sent to Bromley Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 6150265.

Garden Waste Wheelie Bins are being left on the pavement by houses 37, 33, 17, 9 and number 5. Why cant these home owners leave their bins on their own property? I am feed up walking past these smelly bins on the pavement whilst taking my children to school and maneuvering my pushchair around these bins. Web site states that bins SHOULD NOT be placed on the pavement. This also happens at these addresses with their house hold wheelie bins. Some days these bins are left out for 2 days. Please can you inform these addresses of Bromley's policy regarding 'Presenting your waste and recycling for collection'

We provide a collection service for your household waste. This waste should be put out for collection by 7am on your collection day. Your waste needs to be securely contained and placed at the front of your property within arm's reach of the pavement (edge of curtilage) but not on it.

  • More garden waste bins have been placed on the pavement this morning. A lot of the properties are not giving at least the legal gap of 1.2 metres between their bins and the kerb which is legal for push chairs and wheel chair users. Why are these house holds allowed to get away with this, whilst others obey Bromley Councils rules.

  • Some of these households are blocking the pavement by putting their garden waste wheelie bins out the night before (20.00 hrs) for the collection the following day. Why cannot Bromley Council inform these households in writing informing them that all bins must be left on their property and NOT on the public highway They are also not leaving a clearance of at least 1.2 mtrs on the pavement for wheel chair and push chair users.

  • The area neighbourhood officer has visited on numerous occasions and have taken photos and written to those properties who have left their containers out on the public highway. Enforcement action cannot be taken with addresses that are placing containers out on Tuesday night, or after the neighbourhood officer has visited. This road will continued to be monitored NO5
