What you need to know about Barkingside

Barkingside

The town of Barkingside is a suburban district occupying the south-west corner of Fairlop Plain, in the London Borough of Redbridge. Barkingside is known mostly for being the headquarters of Barnardo’s, which remains the country’s largest children’s charity. From its roots as a decidedly modest settlement in the 19th century, it has grown to become the largest ward in the borough. Its shopping district is well-served by its many independent retailers and fast-food outlets. The town is accessible by a relatively generous number of London Bus routes, which, in addition to its own tube station, affords residents and visitors many transport options.

What are the different ways to dispose of waste in Barkingside?

Despite the absence of any local businesses that deal with rubbish disposal, there are multiple options for handling both household and trade waste in Barkingside. Domestic rubbish, in particular, can be brought to either of the two nearby council tips or even to the recycling banks found throughout town. There is also a facility that offers metal and vehicle recycling in the region. Alternatively, refuse and recycling collection is also available in a variety of forms, ranging from the local councils regular collections to the more specialised services offered by the many private contractors operating in the area. Skip hiring or, in the case of domestic use, skip bag hiring is still a widely used method of rubbish removal, while home or office clearance services are an even more convenient, albeit slightly more expensive, form of collection for those who prefer a more comprehensive service.

Where are the nearest recycling centres in Barkingside

For most households in Barkingside, the Redbridge borough council advises the use of the reuse and recycling centre (RRC) on Chigwell Road, as it is the nearest to most addresses in the area. The recycling centre is open throughout the entire week, with shorter hours on weekends, and is able to accept most forms of household recycling, including hard plastics and tyres. To use the site, residents need only bring proof of their address, though calling ahead may still be advantageous due to long queue times. Additionally, the local council also advises the use of the recycling banks or bins located throughout town where possible, to reduce the load on the RRC and allow its use by people with more pressing needs.

What rubbish collection services are available in Barkingside?

In addition to the local authority’s regular waste and recycling collections, a wide variety of collection services are available in Barkingside due to the many major waste management companies operating in the area. Skip or skip bag hiring, man & van, and wait & load, which are usually sufficient for most homes or offices, are typically among the basic services they offer. Rubbish and recycling clearance, on the other hand, can be slightly more expensive as it also includes the private contractor’s team taking on most of the work involved, including sorting through and segregating refuse and recycling. While each type of service is meant to address a different set of needs, they share certain advantages such as more flexible scheduling options (many work outside regular office hours), more reliable contact channels, and a greater commitment to green practices and sustainability.
