What you need to know about Tufnell Park

Tufnell Park

Sitting right on the border between the London Boroughs of Islington and Camden, the Inner London district of Tufnell Park earned the better part of its distinction upon the opening of its tube station early in the 20th century. Known in the past for its wealth of dairy farms, the area remained largely rural until roughly the middle of the 19th century, when much of the initial development started. Many of the original houses and villas were eventually either subdivided or replaced with municipal residential options, allowing more young professionals and city workers to take up residence in the neighbourhood. There are relatively few shops and dining establishments in the area due to it being predominantly residential, but the major commercial hub that is Holloway Road is close enough to serve its residents’ shopping needs. While the Tufnell Park tube station remains the focus for much of the commuter traffic in the district, the Kentish Town, Upper Holloway, and Gospel Oak railway stations are also conveniently accessible.

What are the different ways to dispose of waste in Tufnell Park?

While the better part of rubbish in Tufnell Park is disposed of using the standard local authority services, a wide variety of other methods are also available from the independent contractors operating in the area. Since none of them are actually based in Tufnell Park, however, the additional options they afford its residents are limited to waste removal, with the most basic being bin collections and skip bag hire. Businesses and households that generate larger volumes of refuse, on the other hand, can use skips or wait & load services to keep their bins clear. Additionally, waste clearance solutions for both homes and offices provide an even more convenient means of rubbish disposal, although they tend to cost more than other rubbish removal services.

Where are the nearest recycling centres in Tufnell Park

Located to the south-east from the centre of Tufnell Park, Islington’s reuse and recycling centre (RRC) on Hornsey Street is the nearest such facility in the area. Apart from its proximity to addresses in the neighbourhood, there are several other factors that make it ideal for the disposal of larger amounts of rubbish and recycling. The civic amenity site is open seven days a week, from 9 AM to 4 PM, including weekends and public holidays, and they are able to accept a wider variety of domestic waste (trade waste will need to be brought elsewhere) than many other facilities. Calling ahead is required, but only those bringing their waste by van need to book appointments at least 24 hours ahead of time. And most importantly, Islington Council’s RRC has the necessary infrastructure in place to forward anything that can be reused directly to the appropriate charitable organisations.

What rubbish collection services are available in Tufnell Park?

Despite the nearest civic amenity site being relatively close to addresses in Tufnell Park, many of its residents and businesses still choose to rely on collection services, with the borough council’s regular collections being the most popular. Major waste management companies, however, offer a number of alternative rubbish removal solutions in the area, many of which are more convenient and offer more flexibility than public services. Waste clearance, in particular, is starting to see significantly more use in Tufnell Park due to its convenience in providing all manual labour involved. Private contractors also typically offer flexible scheduling, same-day service, and never-there guarantees (complete cleanup afterwards). For most households and businesses in Tufnell Park, though, commitments to social responsibility can be a deciding factor with the most favored companies being those who promise to keep use of landfills to an absolute minimum.
