Following this year’s Notting Hill Carnival in London, some 200 cleaners supported by 30 refuse trucks and sweepers collected around 300 tonnes of waste – the equivalent of 25 London buses.
The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea said that the task was completed over Monday night, with the area ready for Tuesday morning.
The Council added that recycles all it can of this waste and this year, in partnership with its contractors SUEZ and Alupro, it also encouraged Carnival-goers to recycle.
