People leaving black bin bags full of rubbish/ bread/seeds for the birds. We have seen 2 rats in the last week. Foxes have ripped open the bags and food all over the street.

Updates

  • Thank you for reporting a problem with litter bins.

    We aim to empty all reported overflowing litter bins within 24 hours. Other issues may take a little longer.

    Did you know…?
    Merton provides and maintains over 1,000 public street litter bins across the borough. We emptied litter bins over 360,000 times in the year 2024/5, and received only 188 reports of bins overflowing. That's less than one report for every 1000 empties.

  • Unfortunately, another regular fly tipping hotspot. Right by a bus stop, and the children have to step over the bags of rubbish and food waste on the way to school. Attracted rats and foxes and smells really bad in this heat.
