How to Keep Your Street Clean: A Resident’s Checklist

Byadmin

Resident’s Checklist for Cleaner Streets

1. Report Fly-Tipping Immediately

Don’t walk past dumped rubbish — report it. The more reports, the harder it is for the council to ignore.

Tip: Always take clear photos with a timestamp — this is evidence if the council fails to act.

2. Keep Your Bins Secure and Tidy

  • Put bins out only on collection day.
  • Make sure lids are shut to avoid spillage and vermin.
  • If possible, store bulky waste inside your property until collection.

Dispose of Bulky Waste Properly

  • Book a bulky waste collection via the Ealing Council service.
  • Take items like fridges, mattresses, or furniture to Greenford Recycling Centre.
  • Never leave items on pavements or alleyways — it encourages more dumping.

Join or Organise a Community Clean-Up

  • Even one hour a month makes a visible difference.
  • Bring gloves, bin bags, and a few neighbours — small groups send a big message.
  • Share your before/after photos with Southall Residents Alliance to inspire others.

Hold the Council and Councillors Accountable

If rubbish isn’t collected or fly-tipping keeps happening:

  • Find your councillor here: Ealing Councillors Directory
  • Send them your photos, report numbers, and demand updates.
  • Copy in your local MP if nothing improves.

💡 Remember: councillors are elected to represent you. Use your voice.
