Waste and population in Havering

Havering London Borough Council serves a population of around 260,000 people across a largely suburban area in East London, including Romford, Hornchurch, and Upminster. The borough combines residential neighbourhoods with green spaces and a semi-rural character in parts.

The borough generates a significant volume of household waste each year, typically in the region of 100,000–130,000 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, many with gardens, contributing to strong green waste volumes. The borough’s mix of suburban living and open space supports steady and consistent waste generation throughout the year.
