Councillors have approved plans to bring in smaller wheelie bins and food waste collections for Brixton residents, in a bid to cut the amount of waste that is produced.
Residents will be given new waste bins that are just over half the size of the current wheelie bins. For people living in houses converted to flats the bigger bins will remain, but some will be removed so that they are shared between more households.
From October, all low-rise households will also be expected to use two new food waste bins, a small indoor one and a larger outdoor one. These will be emptied once a week, although households will have to buy their own liners for them.
