Household reuse and recycling times over Christmas
The centre is located at Amenity Way, Morden, SM4 4AX. 8am to 4pm – open seven days a week except Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.
The leaves are falling
It’s that time of year when the leaves are falling. We have over 220,000 street trees in Merton – that’s a lot of leaves.
Residents can help by not sweeping leaves from their gardens, drives or pavements into the road, as this may block the road gullies and could cause flooding.
Our leaf clearance crews will be out sweeping up over 100 tonnes of leaves during the autumn months. The crews make their way around the borough on a schedule so everywhere will be cleared, but if you see a build up of leaves, call us on 020 8274 4902.
