Where to dispose of waste
Put your domestic waste in a refuse bag for weekly collection, on the appointed day, by Hounslow Council.

Take your extra household waste to Space Waye Re-use & Recycling Centre. If disposing of domestic waste by van, you will need to show council tax documentary proof of residence or you will be charged a fee for disposal.

If you need to dispose of business or trade waste you are required by law to:
