Street care and cleaning

Report street care issues on-line

You can report fly-tipping, graffiti, flyposting or streets that need cleaning, or you can request a bulky refuse collection using our online forms - see the A-Z of forms page for details of all our forms.

Environmental Monitoring Officers

Lambeth has a team of Environment Monitoring Officers dedicated to monitoring environmental issues within the borough.

Flyposting

Our in-house team Grimebusters responds to flyposting and removes flyposters from across the borough. Housing offices deal with flyposter removal on estates.

Fly-tipping

We have agents monitoring fly-tipping, we remove illegal rubbish dumps and we issue tip clearance letters so you can correctly dispose of rubbish yourself.

Graffiti

Our in-house team Grimebusters cleans up graffiti across the borough. Housing offices deal with graffiti removal on housing estates.

Litter bins

Over the last few years we have placed over 700 new litter bins around the borough. In order to maximise the usefulness of our bins we aim to position them by bus stops, schools and in busy shopping areas such as markets or high streets.

Operation Freshview

Lambeth Council and its partners are taking a fresh view in tackling a range of problems by combining and focusing their resources in selected areas for one day a month.

Public conveniences

We are responsible for maintaining and cleaning four on-street public conveniences in the borough.

Street cleaning

We clean all public roads and footpaths, wash down pavements in the town centres and empty litter bins as part of our street cleaning service.
