There are ample facilities for rubbish disposal, recycling, and kitchen waste composting on the Jebb Avenue estate. Please use them!
Depositing any waste outside the designated facilities is considered dumping. It is illegal, and it may land you with a fine. Read more here!
Your Household Rubbish
There are five rubbish collection points provided on the estate, please ensure that these are used for all domestic, non recyclable waste.
The bins are contained in pitched roofed, brick sheds with two sliding access hatches on either side.
There is one shed situated at each end (top and bottom), of the pitched roof bocks, on the Brixton Hill side.
Opposite the flat roofed blocks, there is one in front of flats no. 76-99 and two in front of flats no. 82-87.
Please use those most conveniently positioned for you.
If you need to open the main double door in order to deposit larger items that do not fit through the hatch please make sure that the door is shut and bolted afterwards. Otherwise, if caught by the wind, they will be damaged beyond use.

Rubbish
There are four recycling containers in the bin shed behind block 60 – 63.
- Please recycle as much as you can.
- Items should preferably be loose, not bagged up. If you have to bag it up, bags must be transparent, and it would be of great help if you rip the bag open for content to spill out. If any black bags are present the whole load will go to landfill, with ordinary rubbish, or just not collected at all.
- Please collapse all cardboard boxes.
- Please don’t put food waste into the recycling and make sure everything is rinsed/clean to keep bins fresh and vermin away.
- Contaminated recycling, with food waste or non recyclables, is treated as ordinary rubbish and will be taken to landfill.
- If the bins are full please keep your recycling in your flat until they have been emptied, as Lambeth Council will not take any recycling left near full bins.
What should be recycled, and what must not be put into recycling bins, please see info on Lambeth council’s website.

Your Kitchen Waste Composting
What a better way to save some room in your house rubbish bins and help us build a healthy compost heap. Great home for our local bug life, as well as giving us lovely, nutritious compost for our gardens.
There is a double composting bay at the back of the flat roofed block
76 – 81. Please see the diagram below left.
Now, some dos and don’ts of composting – please treat your compost caddy to:
- All vegetable and fruit waste from cooking or munching, and any spoiled veg and fruit that got forgotten at the back of your fridge.
- Egg shells – if you squash them you’ll save some caddy space, plus they do biodegrade quicker.
- Any other plant material, like spent cut flowers or deceased house plants.
- Coffee grounds and (non synthetic) tea bags.
- Cardboard tubes from loo rolls and kitchen towels
- Any paper that usually does not go into recycling: coffee filters, paper tissues, napkins, kitchen towels and egg boxes. Shredded paper from your shredder or from delivery packaging is good too.
But: - Avoid including any meat and dairy products. That may invite unwanted visitors, like rats.
