Sutton continues to lead the way on green ambitions

Sutton’s award-winning waste and street cleaning services continue to set high standards.

The borough received the Keep Britain Tidy Outstanding Service Award in March this year, while maintaining an exceptional 99.99% collection success rate across 13.5 million annual collections.

Fly-tipping reports have fallen by 25%, littering reports by 65%, and contamination at kerbside properties has been reduced by 97%.

We were also nominated in the Net Zero category at the recent Local Government Chronicle Awards for our Green Enterprise Partnership - which has helped over 250 local businesses cut their carbon emissions AND save money on their energy bills at the same time.

All of this, combined with the recent consultation launch of our greenest ever Local Plan (which gives many green spaces and parks new protections), shows our dedication to keeping Sutton a green, clean and tidy borough for all to enjoy for generations to come.
