Newham Rubbish Collection
Newham council has introduced a new campaign called ‘Keep Newham Clean’ where residents and any passers-by through the borough are urged to keep Newham free of rubbish as the council invests more money into Newham Street cleaning and law enforcement.
The main idea of the “Keep Newham Clean” campaign is to encourage people to take pride in the area they live in to stay clean and rubbish free by using the cleaning service that is provided by the council. This year the borough will launch a host of new initiatives to clamp down on Newham’s rubbish problem. There will be a new charge of £20 for bulky waste collection of six or more items which has been launched for a 12 months trial.

A new service will include Weekend Street cleaning, which will be promoted by the council to inform local residents of their services and extra resources employed to target those fly-tipping hot spots to cut down the pile up of rubbish.
This was put in motion after Mayor of Newham Sir Robin Wales and cabinet members agreed to extra invest in the latest budget to respond to residents who have said that their top priorities were to live in a clean and rubbish free area where they feel safe.
Offenders of fly-tipping have been taken to court to pay after being caught fly-tipping or failed to pay for their fines, whilst this year around a thousand fines have been issued to those that have been caught dropping rubbish or urinating.
