Smart Waste Storage at Residential Flats in Havering

Space for Waste Delivers Durable, Secure Bin Housing for Havering Council

As part of its commitment to improving estate management, Havering Council recently upgraded the bin storage facilities at a residential block in East London. Working in partnership with Space for Waste, the council selected the 1280L wheelie bin housing to provide a long-term solution that improves hygiene, deters fly-tipping, and supports compliant waste management.

“The new bin housings have made a noticeable difference to the block. It’s cleaner, safer, and far easier to manage. We’re already planning similar upgrades elsewhere.”


Estate Services Manager, Havering Council

The challenge

Like many local authorities, Havering Council is under growing pressure to improve waste infrastructure in line with tightening UK legislation. The site in question, a mid-sized residential block, faced a number of common issues:


  • Overflowing, exposed bins
  • Unpleasant odours affecting neighbouring flats
  • Unauthorised use and fly-tipping in shared waste areas
  • A need for future-proofing the facility


The council needed a durable and enclosed bin storage solution that would enhance the visual environment while supporting day-to-day waste collection operations.

The solution: 1280L wheelie bin housing

Space for Waste supplied and installed 1280L steel bin housing units, designed specifically to meet the demands of high-occupancy housing developments. The units were manufactured using UK and EU-sourced steel, with powder-coated finishes for added weather resistance and durability.


Key features of the solution included:

  • Fully enclosed design to prevent odours and improve hygiene
  • Secure lockable doors to deter fly-tipping and unauthorised access
  • Anti-graffiti surface finish for easier cleaning and maintenance
  • Stream-specific signage to support correct usage and reduce contamination
  • Optional green roof system, enhancing the visual appeal of the bin area


Each unit was delivered ready for installation, reducing disruption to residents and ensuring a seamless deployment on-site.

The outcome

Feedback from Havering Council and residents has been overwhelmingly positive. The upgraded bin storage:


  • Improved estate cleanliness and user behaviour
  • Reduced side waste and misuse of communal bin points
  • Enhanced the visual appearance of the outdoor waste area


The council now plans to replicate this approach across additional residential blocks as part of a borough-wide waste infrastructure improvement strategy.
