Veolia has been working in partnership with the Royal Borough of Kingston Upon Thames since 2004. We provide residents with recycling and refuse collections and street cleansing.
In Kingston Upon Thames we are currently recycling 46% - Thank you for recycling! Some useful tips to keep up these figures up:
- Rinse out your cans, tins, bottles and jars before putting them in your green box
- Remove lids from plastic bottles and squash bottles flat
- Flatten cardboard before putting it in the white bag
Put your recycling containers at the edge of your property, clearly visible near the pavement, on your collection day by 6.30am.
We also operate food waste and garden waste collections.
