Homeowners may be forced to rise at 5am to put out their waste.

Residents could be forced to rise from bed and put out their bins at 5am under proposals to keep streets tidier.

They would only be able to leave waste on the public highway for collection during two hour-long slots - from 5pm to 6pm, and from 5am to 6am.

Collections of residential and commercial waste are then timed for between 6am and 8am, and 6pm and 8pm.

Those residents who fail to meet the restrictions imposed by Merton Council, in south London, will be fined.

The council says it hopes the move will "improve the cleanliness and overall street environment" by reducing the amount of time waste is left on the street for collection.

In a statement the council said: "Merton Council's drive to keep the borough's streets clean is taking another positive step with proposals to introduce a time-specific waste collection scheme in Wimbledon."

However with many working residents likely to arrive home from work after 6pm, homeowners will be forced to rise at 5am to put out their waste.

A trial run is expected to take place in a defined area of Wimbledon Village and Wimbledon town centre from April, following a consultation process.

Councillor Mark Betteridge, cabinet member for performance and implementation, said: "Time banding will help improve the cleanliness of our streets and make our town centres more pleasant and attractive for all.

"We want to make Wimbledon a destination town centre for people to visit.

"I would encourage residents and local businesses in the proposed time banded area to feed back their views on the scheme to Merton so we can ensure all views are considered."

An informal consultation on the proposals will take place over the coming weeks when officers will be speaking to businesses and residents about the plans.

A council spokesman said residents in affected areas would have a three-month trial before they would be subject to fines.

根據維護街道整潔的最新提案，英國居民可能被迫要早上五點起床去倒垃圾。

居民到公路上的垃圾收集點丟棄垃圾的時間可能僅限于兩個時間段——下午五點到六點和早晨五點到六點。

之前收集生活垃圾和商業垃圾的時間段是上午六點至八點和傍晚六點到八點。

這項規定由倫敦南部的默頓地方議會做出，違規的居民會被罰款。

該地方議會表示，希望通過減少街道上收集垃圾的時間來“改善街道衛生和整體的街道環境”。

該地方議會在一份聲明中說：“此前已有提議在溫布爾頓實施限時收集垃圾的方案，默頓地方議會維持市鎮街道整潔的行動也是對此的積極響應。”

但由于很多工薪階層大多在晚上6點之后下班到家，居民不得不早上五點起床去倒垃圾。

在一系列磋商之后，四月份將在溫布爾頓村和溫布爾頓市中心劃定的地區試運行此項政策。
