Every day, Bromley Council's crews successfully make around 70,000 refuse or recycling collections, but even though the ‘missed’ rate is very small, they fully understand the irritation this causes.
From an operational point of view, sometimes these ‘missed’ reports coming in aren’t actually ‘misses’ at all, rather presumed misses as a result of a late or incomplete round by way of unavoidable causes such as illness, mechanical difficulties, vehicle breakdown or accident.
In an effort to improve communication flow and reduce the number of premature reports, the Council has recently started a trial to publish this information on their website as a way of notifying residents when there is a specific problem.
If collections have been disrupted, it is now possible to see this information in virtual ‘real time’ on our household waste and recycling page from roughly 09:00 onwards each working day. You can view this information by visiting www.bromley.gov.uk/WasteCollectionDelays. Please do check this before reporting a missed collection.
To report a missed collection, visit www.bromley.gov.uk/report where you will also be able to see other service problems too.
