Waste and population in Bexley

Bexley London Borough Council serves a population of around 250,000 people across a largely suburban area in South East London, including towns such as Bexleyheath, Sidcup, and Erith. The borough combines residential neighbourhoods with green spaces and some industrial areas along the River Thames.

The borough generates a significant volume of household waste each year, typically in the region of 95,000–120,000 tonnes across general refuse, recycling, and garden waste collections. Waste levels reflect both the population size and the predominantly residential nature of the area.

Waste output is influenced by a high proportion of family homes with gardens, contributing to strong green waste volumes, alongside areas of higher-density housing. The mix of suburban living and some industrial activity supports steady and consistent waste generation across the borough.
