Learn more about Waste Disposal in Twickenham

Richmond Council are responsible for the recycling and waste disposal in Twickenham for most of the household waste. They offer weekly collections for household waste, garden waste and commercial waste recycling services. There are also multiple community reuse and recycle schemes across the borough to help you with all kinds of waste.

For those of you who prefer to dispose of your own waste in your own time, you can visit Townmead Road Reuse and Recycle Centre. You will be required to book a slot on the council’s website before visiting.

If the council does not provide a disposal service that you require or you are looking for more of a flexible, convenient and cost effective service then it will be better for you to use a private waste company. It is highly advised that you check the company is licenced and reputable for the service you are looking for to ensure the work is properly.

If you want to aid us with our mission and dispose of your waste safely, securely and sustainably, all you need to do is get in touch regarding the kind of waste removal you require.

We arrange the transportation and disposal of your waste on a pre-agreed time and date that works for you with one of our professional, pre-approved and audited waste companies that we partner with.

Confidential waste disposal

Confidential waste should be handled by a company who is licensed to do so, otherwise it could end up in the wrong hands, which could lead to confidential information being released publicly, breaching GDPR regulations.

Many of us have at least one type of confidential waste product either in our homes or at our place of work. They are commonly defined as something that holds personal, company, employee or client data.

The following items are confidential waste:
- Bank statements/Tax documents
- USB/Hard drives
- CD’s
- Contracts

Richmond Council does not have a service to dispose of your confidential waste securely, so you will need to find a private confidential waste company that is properly licensed to do so whilst holding all associated accreditations.

Our confidential waste services cover paper shredding, media shredding, hard drive destruction and data destruction. You can be assured that your confidential waste is safe and secure with us from collection to destruction, as we ensure our waste specialist partners follow all health and safety standards as well management standards and are fully licensed to deal with your confidential waste.

Hazardous waste disposal in Twickenham

Twickenham generates over 80,000 tonnes of hazardous waste every year if this waste is not disposed of appropriately there are environmentally damaging consequences.

The City of London operates a Household Hazardous Waste Collection and Disposal Service (HWCDS) on Richmond Council’s behalf, who can remove any packaged asbestos and chemicals from your household if requested. Some (but not all) household hazardous products can be disposed of safely at the Townmead Road Reuse and Recycling Centre. Make sure you check which items can be disposed of at the centre before you book your appointment.

If the HWCDS cannot dispose of your waste, or you would prefer to use a private waste company, Wayst provides 14 different hazardous waste removal and disposal services. If you need help regarding any type of hazardous waste removal then get in touch.

How is the local authority in Twickenham handling your waste?

Cardboard and paper collected products from blue bins are transported to the councils depot in Craneford Way, and then to Newport paper mills where they are reprocessed into recycled paper products. Richmond Upon Thames council works with a private contractor to transport other dry recycling collected from black boxes in bulk loads to a sorting plant in Mansfield. At this stage any residual waste contaminants that might be present are removed and sent to an energy recovery facility. Another sorting plant in Leeds separates different types of plastics into PET bottles, pots, tubs and trays. Bulk loads of plastic, glass aluminium and steel are then marketed and sold on to companies who will transform the materials into end products, or sell them onto other companies where they are not able to remanufacture them. All the end markets for recyclables are within the EU with the exception of some steel which is sold and recycled internationally.

Food waste material which is collected from Green boxes in Twickenham is delivered to the West London Waste Authority (WLWA) in Hounslow who delivers the material to the anaerobic waste facility in Mitcham, where it is treated to produce gas which is fed into the national grid, and biofertilizer for crops and farmland. Similarly, general rubbish is used to generate electricity, and garden waste is used to enrich the soil by being composted.

Twickenham Council's Waste Management Performance:

· Overall annual spend on waste management £54,383,813
· Per person spend £56
· Landfill rate 50.14%
· Reuse and recycling rate 49.86%

What are the plans for a greener future in Twickenham?

The West London Waste Authority provides plenty of helpful tips and information on their website for residents in Twickenham and Richmond Upon Thames on reducing waste and taking part in community reuse and recycle schemes on the WLWA website. One such initiative that individuals and families can do at home is to start to change their everyday habits around accumulating waste in the first place. This can be achieved by small incremental actions that add up to have a big impact on the amount of waste that individual households produce and will significantly reduce the overall amount of waste that needs to be collected. There are several ways in which residents can start to reduce the amount of rubbish generated on a daily basis by bringing less waste into the home through making better buying choices, repairing items and planning meals in advance to reduce food waste, which can cause harm to the environment if it ends up in landfill. Residents can also access community reuse and recycling schemes via the local authority website such as Richmond Freegle, the Richmond furniture recycling scheme,and the TRAID clothing collections scheme.
