Let a neighbour collect it
If you have an item that you no longer want, try offering it for sale, or for free. It might be just the thing that someone else was looking for! There are lots of ways to sell or give away items. We've listed them all on our Furniture page.
Garden waste
The north London boroughs offer garden (green) waste collection services to their residents, though some boroughs may charge for this service. Visit your council's website, or contact them, to find out more.
Food waste
Food waste services are available to lots of properties in north London. Visit your council's website, or contact them, to find out more.
Large items
All north London councils will collect most large items from your home. They may charge a small fee for the collection. Wherever possible, the items will be recycled, or in some boroughs, furniture that's in good condition will be put aside so that it can be given to a local community organisation, or sold to local people at affordable prices.
Large electrical items
If you live in Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Islington and Waltham Forest, the company Clearabee will collect large electrical items for free. Book a collection on the Clearabee website, or call 0330 088 1085, Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm.
Coffee pods
The company Podback offers a home recycling collection service of used coffee pods. Check if you are eligible on the Podback website.
Small electricals, clothes and batteries
If you live in Camden or Waltham Forest, you might be eligible for home collection services of small electrical items, clothes, and batteries.
