Our street cleaning programme

We work with our contractors to make sure Brent’s roads and streets are kept clean and tidy all year round.

This operation involves cleaning more than 1,700 streets.

• Zone A roads (usually town centres) are cleaned daily between 6am and 10pm.
• Increased cleaning of streets surrounding Wembley Stadium takes place on and after event days.

We aim to make sure the cleanliness of Brent’s streets never drops below ‘Grade B’. This grade means a street is predominately free of litter and rubbish except for a few small items. 

Reporting issues

Residents can report litter, fly tipping, and other street issues (like trees and pavements) using 'Fix My Street'. When creating a report, please give the exact location details (e.g., outside property X or between roads Y and Z) to help us use resources efficiently.

Our goal is to maintain Brent's streets at least at 'Grade B,' where the area is mostly free of litter except for a few small items.

Grading structure for street cleanliness 

• Grade A: no litter or refuse    

• Grade B: predominately free of litter and refuse, except for a few small items.   

• Grade C: widespread distribution of litter and refuse, with some items spread across the road

• Grade D: heavily littered, with significant piles built up

Three intermediate grades will also be used.  These are:

• B+ between Grade A and Grade B
• B-  between Grade B and Grade C
• C- between Grade C and Grade D
