This service is under the control of the Borough Engineer and
Surveyor of this Council. House refuse is stored in movable ash
bins. The removal of house and trade refuse is carried out weekly
by a fleet of end-loading, mechanical tipping refuse vehicles except
in the case of blocks of dwellings, schools, etc., where the collection
is carried out more frequently. The method of disposal of refuse
is by loading into barges on the Grand Surrey Canal and by loading
into railway trucks at the Bricklayer's Arms Siding.
