The Love Stanmore Action Day went ahead on Saturday and was very well received by the community.

Wi******er City Council (Tobey – Tenant Partnership Officer, Lupita – Recycling Officer) and staff from Cardo were present in Cromwell Road, Stanmore on Saturday 24th January 2026 to assist those who may have needed to dispose of any household rubbish.

Two skips were placed on the grassy area outside of the Cromwell Road shops. The skips were very popular and by the end of the day both skips were completely full. For those who had bulkier items or were unable to take their rubbish to the skips, they were assisted by staff on site who utilised a flat bed truck to collect the rubbish and then dispose of it via the skips.

Quote from local resident Sue Green Below

“Thank you so much for the help on Saturday. The idea of action days are brilliant and hopefully this will end up happening all over the estate.. Well done to all involved.”

The skips were provided by Reconomy Connect
