In Bromley, there are several common reasons why waste collections might be missed. Here’s a quick breakdown:
| Reason | Details |
|---|---|
| Improper Placement | Waste must be placed at the edge of your property by 7am. If it is hidden or placed incorrectly, it may not be collected. |
| Not Presented on Time | If your container wasn't out by 7am on collection day, you’ll need to wait until the next scheduled day. |
| Missed Due to Delays | Unforeseen circumstances, such as weather, vehicle breakdowns, or roadworks might cause delays. |
| Inappropriate Waste | Items that are not accepted (like bulky waste or hazardous materials) may lead to the collection being missed. |
If your collection is continually missed, you can report it through the council's website. It’s always good to stay informed about any known delays affecting your area.
