What you need to know about N20

N20

N20 is the postcode assigned to the Whetstone district in north London covering Whetstone, Totteridge, and Oakleigh Park in the Borough of Barnet. It is predominantly an expensive residential area but also includes several suburban neighbourhoods and abundant spaces. Some of the detached properties in the area are valued to be among the most expensive in London due to their spaciousness and green landscaped gardens. Apart from its parks and golf courses, the district’s other amenities include several parades of shops, a cricket club, and an intimate public house called the Orange Tree. Due to the nature of the neighbourhood, transport options in N20 are somewhat limited. The Totteridge and Whetstone station is the most convenient means to access the London Underground (though some addresses can also use Woodside Park) and Oakleigh Park is the only railway station within a reasonable radius. There are also a small handful of Transport for London bus routes that pass through the area.

What are the different ways to dispose of waste in N20?

Rubbish in N20 can be disposed of using a variety of modern methods, and both public and commercial options are available to its households and businesses. In addition to the council tip, which handles most large batches of refuse in the district, there are two other tips to the east, along the A109, that can see to the disposal or recycling for construction, demolition, or excavation waste. Collection services, however, are even more widely used in N20, whether as part of the council’s public services or through independent waste management companies. Professional home or office clearance services, in particular, are generally regarded as more reliable and consequently often used to either supplement or replace the regular rubbish and recycling collections.

Where are the nearest recycling centres in N20

Barnet’s main reuse and recycling facility, the Summers Lane Civic Amenity & Waste Recycling Centre, is located just north of the North Circular and is the nearest council tip for addresses in N20. While visitors are required to make appointments prior to their visit, the site is able to take several types of waste that are not accepted at most other recycling centres, such as gas bottles and tyres. Visitors arriving in vans, in particular, will need to make their booking at least 24 hours ahead of time and are also asked to bring proof of residency. Certain large items are also accepted at Summers Lane, but it may be more convenient to simply make arrangements for bulky waste collection. The council also advises the use of either the weekly or fortnightly (for garden waste) collections and recycling banks where possible to allow the recycling centre to be used by those who require the facilities the most.

What rubbish collection services are available in N20?

Barnet’s public services include weekly recycling and rubbish collections as well as fortnightly collections for garden waste. Those who need to dispose of larger volumes of rubbish, however, may choose to also make arrangements with one of the licenced waste management companies operating in N20. Professional property clearance, while costing extra, comes with a number of perks and is often thought of as a weighty upgrade to the regular collections. Mainly, waste management companies are considered more reliable due to the ease with which they can be reached. Their teams operate throughout the entire week, even outside normal working hours, and can typically come on the same day that the service is booked. More importantly, since their rubbish removal services are start-to-finish affairs, it normally also includes sorting through the rubbish to be collected and separating anything that can be recycled, which can significantly reduce the impact of household waste on landfills.
