About Us
Bexley is an outer London Borough with the best of both worlds, located between the hustle and
bustle of London and the Garden of England, Kent. Within the borough we have award winning
parks, open spaces and listed heritage sites.
Bexley’s Environmental Services department ensures that highly visible front-line services are
delivered across the borough. The Council has a statutory duty to maintain the urban
environment clean via services such as recycling, waste collection, disposal and street
cleansing. These are universal services which are used by all Bexley residents and the
department ensures that these services are delivered in an efficient manner by its contractors.
In addition, the department is responsible for the enforcement of littering and fly tipping
offences, as well as the issuing of street trading licences in the borough.
London Borough of Bexley is a unitary authority, and the team is also responsible for the
monitoring of all waste disposal contracts. The team works closely with partners in the waste
industry to ensure that both reuse and recycling centres in the borough are running smoothly
and that the material collected from the kerbside and from both recycling centres in the
borough is disposed of in line with the requirements set in the Environmental Protection Act
from 1990. Our team also engages with Bexley residents and schools and provides advice on
recycling. We have a pool of over 350 street litter picking volunteers.

in the aim of achieving long term sustainable waste and street cleansing services in the
borough. You will be required to deliver service improvements and develop better services for
our residents and will be heavily involved in the implementation and delivery of our annual
Street Services Improvement Plan.
You will be required to produce information, reports and submit funding applications and
applications for service awards and constantly seek to develop and improve the services.

You will represent the department at meetings with contractors, elected members, Community
Safety meetings and forums and under the guidance of the Environmental Services Manager (Waste
Disposal and Street Cleansing), you will be responsible for the planning, delivery and
implementation of capital programme schemes linked to service development i.e. the replacement
of waste containers, litter bins and installation of CCTV enforcement cameras. You will also be
responsible for the planned annual cleansing maintenance of all TfL Road network in the borough
and that the programme is delivered as per agreed schedule.
You will work collaboratively with the Enviro-crime enforcement team to ensure fly tipping and
littering offences are minimised boroughwide and that the monthly data on all street scene
national indicators is monitored and recorded on Waste Data Flow.
As our development officer you will be required to prepare and deliver bespoke presentations on
waste management and street cleansing issues to various groups, meetings and conferences. This
