Cleaning after Carnival
Rubbish will be cleared each night from the main Carnival area. Residents can also apply for extra cleaning services.
The Tuesday rubbish and recycling collections will move to Wednesday 30 August for that week only.
Timings of nightly clean-ups are subject to police advice on suitable times to start. Main roads and areas around transport hubs also take priority for the clean-up.
Barriers and signs will be removed by the police and contractors in the week after the event.
Free cleaning service for basements
A free cleaning service is offered for residents with a basement affected during Carnival.
- This is not offered for free where resident-organised Carnival activity or street trading has taken place; Council officers record addresses of any such activity to determine eligibility for this service.
- If you have authorised Carnival activity on your premises and want to register for a basement clean, charges are:
- Basic sweep, litter clearance: £30
- Including pressure wash: £75
- Register for the free or charged service by 5pm Thursday 31 August using the 'Report a problem on a street' online form or call 020 7361 3001 (weekdays 9am to 5pm).
