What you need to know about Fairlop

Fairlop

Fairlop is one of the northern districts within the London Borough of Redbridge and considered part of the larger district of Ilford. The area is mostly open space with a good amount of fields and forestry that makes its surrounding areas ideal for sports, fishing, and various other outdoor activities including water sports. It's more developed sections are concentrated along its northern and western borders, which it shares with the neighbouring districts of Hainault and Fullwell Cross, respectively, but there are a number of residential and commercial properties along Forest Road, north of Fairlop Waters, and along Hainault Road. As Fairlop also technically includes part of the Barkingside High Street, its residents are afforded convenient access to the wide range of restaurants, coffee shops, banks, and other retail amenities situated along it. The Fairlop tube station is on the London Underground’s Central line and located near the western end of Forest Road.

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

Properties in Fairlop have access to nearly all modern waste disposal options, with the council-provided services serving as the most accessible means of keeping household and commercial bins in the district clear of rubbish. The paid-for services offered by waste management companies, however, also see a fair amount of use, with many of the district’s residents choosing to use them alongside their basic weekly collections. A number of companies also offer special collections for specific types of rubbish, such as garden waste, builder’s rubble, or hazardous waste, while bulky waste clearances in Fairlop are available from select private contractors. Tipping is less often used due to the nearest reuse and recycling centre being some distance away, but Fairlop’s residents also have the option of taking their recycling to the independent facility on Roebuck Road in Hainault.

Where are the nearest recycling centres in Fairlop

Despite being a considerable distance away, Redbridge’s civic amenity site on Chigwell Road is still the nearest RRC for addresses in Fairlop. As the facility is not ideal for regular trips, most of the district’s residents instead make use of nearby recycling banks for the disposal of any recyclable items and materials that cannot wait until their next collection day. On the other hand, bulky waste, such as sofas, beds, and other unwanted furniture can still be taken to the facility for disposal, especially when wait times for the local authority’s bulky waste collections become too long. The Chigwell Road RRC is open from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM on weekdays and 8 AM to 4 PM on weekends and able to accept most types of household waste, including tyres and gas bottles.

What rubbish collection services are available in Fairlop?

Redbridge Council’s free weekly collections for domestic rubbish and fortnightly collections for garden waste are typically sufficient for households in Fairlop that generate average quantities of refuse and recycling. Bulky waste collections for large household items, such as furniture and major appliances, are also available, but are only free for the first collection of up to three items every six months, with any additional collections beyond that costing £10 per item. Additionally, the local council also offers separate special collections for clinical waste, but any hazardous waste, like asbestos, will need to be called in for removal by the City of London’s collection service. As Fairlop residents requesting any of the special collections typically experience long wait times, it has become increasingly common to make arrangements with private contractors for similar services instead.
