Video Production London - Clean streets in Westminster - Http - //www.ossian.tv

With over 2,000 streets, 90,000 households, 14,000 businesses and a million visitors everyday, Westminster produces a lot of rubbish. 200,000 tonnes a year in fact. Keeping the borough clean and pleasant for everyone takes a dedicated team of 800 people, working around the clock, 365 days a year. Our teams also clean up graffiti, chewing gum and safely dispose of any hazardous waste. We aim to deal with with fly tipping within 2 hours of it being reported, and we can help you dispose of bulky household items, such as old furniture or electronic equipment. None of Westminster's rubbish ends up as landfill. Anything we can't recycle is sent to an incinerator in South London where it produces enough electricity to power nearly 50,000 homes. Residential bins are collected a minimum of twice a week. and in the busiest areas, it can be up to 3 times a day. You can find your streets' collection schedule on our website. But please don't put your rubbish out until it's due to be collected. Bin bags attract rats and other vermin. The more sources of food they find, the more of them we'll get. Also please safely wrap any broken glass in newspaper, as our refuse collectors can easily be injured by loose shards. Before you throw it out, check whether it can be recycled. Most recyclable products will have a logo. Did you know left over food can be composted at home for use in your garden? The web address on screen will tell you everything you need to get started. Businesses need an account with the council before we can dispose of your rubbish. This is for legal reasons, as we need to know what type of waste you'll be producing. Our prepaid disposable bags are suitable for most small and medium size businesses. Larger companies may need special bins and compactors, which can be ordered from our commercial waste team. The team can also help if you have bulky items to get rid of, such as unwanted furniture and if you want to find out more about recycling for your business.
