Bin bags are piling up on this street and residents have had enough
Published: 11/16/2025

Residents in Tower Hamlets, London, are frustrated with piles of bin bags on pavements after changes in waste collection methods. The closure of bin rooms means residents must leave bags outside, attracting vermin and causing unpleasant odors. Proposed solutions include subterranean bins for cleaner waste disposal, but challenges like space availability and community acceptance remain. Councils are exploring innovative options like alternative bins and collection stickers to address waste management issues on city streets.
