Autumn community skips in Brent. Details: What, When and Where

From Brent Council

Do you need to get rid of an old sofa, washing machine or mattress? Do you want to the opportunity freshen up and de-clutter your home?

With the community skips you can. You can get rid of your bulky waste for FREE and donate any reusable items to those who need them, which helps others and is great for the environment too!

The community skips are making a return from Thursday 1 September - Thursday 6 October and will be touring the borough, ready to take your bulky waste and then recycle it or give it a new home.

You can drop off up to five bulky items free of charge, as long as you can show proof of a Brent address.

Residents are also welcome to take away any items to reuse and repurpose.

Representatives from Veolia will join the council’s Neighbourhood Managers to help sort items and ensure they are recycled and reused wherever possible. 

Please check the location and date of your local community skip the day before you go, just in case there are any last minute changes and be aware that we cannot accept builders’ materials (such as rubble), garden waste (including soil), commercial waste, pianos or clinical and hazardous waste.

Brent Elections Returning Officer steps into skips row

 

Carolyn Downs, who as well as being Brent Council CEO is also the Returning Officer for the May 5th local elections, wrote to party returning officers this afternoon:

 

Dear all


You will be fully aware that purdah starts on 24th March. All councillors including those who will be seeking re-election have been advised of this and to be very careful of any publicity used in the near run up to that date. A particular issue has been drawn to my attention.  The council has been working with the community and residents associations on a programme of community skips located in wards around the borough where people can take rubbish. This initiative is warmly welcomed by the community. We have a few more to take place between now and 24th March and we have advised all Councillors not to promote themselves through their own or party publicity in relation to these skips. I am sure that you, as agents, would agree that prospective candidates who are not currently Councillors should desist in doing so as well to avoid this valuable initiative being marred for the community by [political] controversy. I would be grateful for your cooperation.

 

Carolyn Downs

Chief Executive
