What you need to know about Somers Town

Somers Town

Considered one of the inner city districts, Somers Town is located in north-west London within the London Borough of Camden Originally one of the settlements adjacent to the New Road, Somers Town has historically been a district whose development was largely dictated by the establishment of the transport routes in its surrounding area. It is home to a considerable number of housing estates and a culturally diverse population, and its proximity to several major railway and tube stations and their surrounding developments affords its residents access to a wide range of amenities. Somers Town is also known for its busy street market, which is held on Chalton Street every Wednesday to Friday. Despite street traffic in the area being kept to a relative minimum, it is served by an adequate number of transport options courtesy of all the nearby stations at Euston, St Pancras, and King’s Cross.

What are the different ways to dispose of waste in Somers Town?

While the location of Somers Town makes it somewhat impractical to dispose of waste by taking it to even the nearest reuse and recycling centre (RRC), homes and businesses can still benefit from most modern means of waste management, thanks to both the local council and the licenced private contractors operating in the area. Rubbish collection services are generally considered the most convenient methods and are typically sufficient for average volumes of domestic waste. Large scale disposal solutions, such as wait & load and skip hire, are usually only used by businesses and, in some cases, communal housing developments. Other options are available as well, but have been tailored to suit specific circumstances, such as general clearing for homes or offices, or for certain types of refuse such as electronic, confidential or hazardous waste.

Where are the nearest recycling centres in Somers Town

Despite being located within the London Borough of Camden, the nearest civic amenity site for addresses in Somers Town is still Hornsey Street Waste & Recycling Centre, which is technically under the jurisdiction of Islington Council. As the site is some distance away, it is more common to either simply rely on the regular rubbish and recycling collections, or make use of the recycling banks found at various locations across Somers Town. Clothing banks have also been made available for those looking to dispose of unwanted clothes, but getting rid of old furniture will still require getting in touch with the local authority for a bulky item collection or making a trip to the RRC. The Hornsey Street site is open daily from 9 AM to 4 PM, including weekends and public holidays, and is able to accept most types of household waste. Appointments are required for every visit, with vans needing to book their slots at least 24 hours ahead of time.

What rubbish collection services are available in Somers Town?

While collection services are the most common means of disposing of rubbish in Somers Town, some types are more significantly more convenient than others. The most basic, such the local council’s regular collections or the bin collection or skip bag hire services offered by some private contractors, are typically limited to the removal of refuse and rubbish from their respective containers either by the roadside or at the edge of a property. Home or office clearance services, which are widely considered the most convenient option include all the lifting and carrying involved. Most waste management companies can tailor such services to suit different types and volumes of rubbish, and the best of them even guarantee that any and all recyclable materials collected as part of the property clearance will be taken to the correct facilities.
