What you need to know about Hackney Wick

Hackney Wick

Hackney Wick is a neighbourhood that occupies the south-eastern corner of both the London Borough of Hackney and the larger Hackney district within it. The area was among those that benefited the most from the wide-scale development that accompanied the construction of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in the neighbouring district of Stratford, which is further emphasised by a section of the latter being called East Wick. In addition to its links to both the Olympic Park and Victoria Park, the neighbourhood remains known for being favoured by artists and designers, many of whom have their own studios set up either within Hackney Wick itself or in Fish Island Village south of the station. Most of the commercial spaces in the area are occupied by bars, pubs, and restaurants, but there are also a number of retail shops in the area around the Hackney Wick railway station.

Where are the nearest recycling centres in Hackney Wick

The Gateway Road reuse and recycling centre (RRC) in Leyton is the nearest civic amenity site for addresses in Hackney Wick and can be an extremely convenient alternative in situations where neither the council’s regular collections nor their bulky waste removal services are viable options. In addition to the general domestic refuse and recycling, the Gateway Road facility is also able to accept larger household items, such as unwanted furniture (beds, sofas, etc.) and major appliances, especially those that are suitable for reuse. The site, however, is closed on Mondays, and they are able to accept rubble but not soil, both of which may make the South Access Road facility to the north a better choice in certain cases.

What rubbish collection services are available in Hackney Wick?

Hackney Council offers free rubbish removal services that cover general refuse, recycling, food waste, and garden waste for all residential properties in Hackney Wick. In most cases, recycling and food waste are collected weekly to encourage recycling, while general rubbish and garden waste bins are emptied fortnightly. The council also offers clinical waste collections for households in Hackney Wick free of charge, but they can only be arranged after being recommended by a nurse or GP. Bulky waste collections, on the other hand, are only offered as a paid-for service, except in the case of residents receiving housing benefit. A single collection, which costs £15, can handle the removal of up to five bulky items, including unwanted furniture or large electrical items. Bulky waste removal can be arranged with the local as often as necessary, but wait times are often long due to the high volume of requests the council typically has to deal with.
