About Waste Collection Merton

Waste Collection Merton is a local rubbish removal and waste collection service rooted in the heart of the London Borough of Merton. From the early days of helping neighbours clear out garages off Wimbledon Hill Road, to handling regular collections across Morden, Mitcham, Raynes Park and Colliers Wood, we have grown into a trusted, professional team dedicated to keeping our borough clean, tidy and sustainable.

Our Story in the Merton Community

Waste Collection Merton started as a small, family-run operation in 2010. Based near the centre of Morden, we began by offering simple, reliable waste collection in the area to local residents and small businesses around Morden Hall Park, Lower Morden Lane and the Morden Park area. Word-of-mouth recommendations from neighbours and traders on London Road and Aberconway Road helped us build a reputation for turning up on time, working hard and leaving every site spotless.

As demand grew from homes and businesses across Wimbledon, Mitcham and Raynes Park, we expanded our fleet and trained local staff to handle larger clearances, regular commercial collections and specialist area rubbish removal services. Today, you will see our vehicles operating from Wimbledon Broadway and The Broadway in Wimbledon Town Centre, to the estates around Phipps Bridge and Pollards Hill, always focused on delivering a friendly, local and reliable service.

Years of Local Experience

We have been operating continuously in Merton for over 14 years, serving thousands of households, landlords, businesses and community organisations. Our long-standing presence across neighbourhoods such as South Wimbledon, Colliers Wood, Wimbledon Chase and around Nelson Hospital means we understand the specific waste challenges of the area, from busy high streets to quieter residential streets and estates.

This local experience helps us plan efficient waste collection routes, minimise disruption for residents and businesses, and respond quickly to urgent or same-day area rubbish removal service requests. We know the best times to access narrow streets off Kingston Road, the parking challenges near Wimbledon Common and the timing needed to work safely around schools and community centres.

Fully Licensed and Environment Agency Compliant

Waste Collection Merton operates as a fully licensed waste carrier, registered with the Environment Agency. This means all rubbish, recycling and bulky waste we collect from homes or commercial premises is transported and disposed of legally and responsibly.

Our licensing and compliance processes are regularly reviewed to ensure we stay up to date with national regulations and local Merton Council requirements. We use authorised waste transfer stations and borough facilities, and we maintain full documentation so that our customers can be confident their waste is being handled correctly from collection to final processing.

Trained, Professional Local Staff

Our team is made up of local people who live in and around Merton, from Mitcham and Morden to Wimbledon and Raynes Park. Every member of staff receives thorough training in safe lifting, sorting, segregation of recyclables and responsible waste handling. We also provide regular refreshers on health and safety, site risk assessment and customer care.

Whether we are clearing a flat near Colliers Wood station, helping a shop on Wimbledon Hill Road, or handling garden waste near Wimbledon Common, our staff arrive in uniform, work efficiently and treat every property with respect. Polite, punctual and professional, they are the face of Waste Collection Merton and a key reason why so many customers return to us for regular waste collection in the area.

Our Mission and Values

Our mission is simple: to provide reliable, affordable and environmentally responsible waste collection across Merton, while supporting the community we call home. We believe that professional area rubbish removal service should make life easier for customers and better for the local environment.

We are guided by key values:

Reliability – we turn up when we say we will and complete every job thoroughly.

Transparency – clear, fair pricing and honest advice about the most suitable service.

Responsibility – full traceability of waste from collection to disposal or recycling.

Community – working with local residents, charities and organisations across the borough.

Eco-Responsibility at the Heart of What We Do

Protecting the local environment is central to Waste Collection Merton. From the River Wandle and Morden Hall Park wetlands to the green spaces around Wimbledon Common and Cannon Hill Common, we are committed to preserving the places that make our borough special.

We aim to divert as much waste as possible away from landfill by carefully sorting loads and maximising recycling and reuse. Our teams separate cardboard, metals, wood, green waste and other recyclable materials, taking them to authorised facilities where they can be processed responsibly. We constantly review our vehicle routes to reduce unnecessary mileage and emissions across the borough.

Recycling Partnerships and Local Facilities

As a dedicated waste collection provider in Merton, we work closely with recognised local waste and recycling facilities and make regular use of borough resources such as the Garth Road Household Reuse and Recycling Centre in Morden. By using established local infrastructure, we can ensure that as much of the waste we collect as possible is recycled, reused or recovered.

We also cooperate with local charities and reuse organisations where appropriate, helping to divert usable furniture, white goods and household items away from disposal and towards people who can benefit from them. This approach reduces waste, supports the circular economy and benefits residents right across Merton.

Strong Community Ties Across Merton

Our roots in the area go far beyond being a waste collection service. We live, work and raise our families in Merton, and we take pride in supporting the communities we serve. Over the years we have assisted with community clean-up days around Mitcham Common, supported local events near Wimbledon Park and helped clear waste after street and park gatherings.

We regularly work with landlords and housing associations on estates across Mitcham, Morden and Wimbledon, helping keep communal areas clean and safe. From the residential streets near Figges Marsh to the busy roads around Tooting and Colliers Wood, our goal is to contribute to a cleaner, tidier borough for everyone.
