What you need to know about Wapping

Wapping

Wapping is one of the districts along the Thames within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets in the east London region. While most of the district fell into a state of decline following the docks’ closure after the war, it became the subject of large-scale redevelopment efforts late in the 20th century through the efforts of the London Docklands Development Corporation and is now home to a variety of modern residential, commercial, and light industrial properties. Partly as a result of Wapping’s strong maritime heritage, the district has also become known for its waterfront pubs, several of which are among the longest standing establishments in the area. Tobacco Dock, formerly a disused Grade I listed warehouse-turned-shopping centre, is also in Wapping and was completely made over as a massive events and conferencing facility early in the 21st century. Wapping railway station is the district’s most used transport link, but there are several London routes operating in the area as well as Shadwell DLR station to the north.

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

As even the closest licenced rubbish dumps and recycling centres are a considerable distance away from most of Wapping, waste collections are the most commonly used method of refuse and recycling disposal in the district. These comprise not only the council’s own regular collections, but also the alternative services offered by both local man & van businesses and large waste management companies in the area. The latter, which include services like bin collection, skip hire, and waste clearance, are often used in lieu of public services due to the added convenience they offer. Waste clearances, in particular, are favored by the more environmentally conscious as the top companies guarantee that 100% of recyclable materials and items will be processed at the appropriate facilities.

Where are the nearest recycling centres in Wapping

Tower Hamlets’ local reuse and recycling centre (RRC), which is located on Gateway Road in Blackwall, is the nearest civic amenity site for addresses in Wapping. As it is a considerable distance away, however, the borough council recommends either making more efficient use of the regularly scheduled refuse and recycling collections or taking recyclable materials and items in smaller loads to a nearby recycling bank, the closest of which is on Christian Street in Stepney, instead. Large items, such as white goods, sofas, beds, and other unwanted furniture, can either be taken to the site or collected through the council’s bulky waste collection service.

What rubbish collection services are available in Wapping?

Regular refuse and recycling collections are provided by the borough council, free of charge, for all households in Wapping. Garden waste collections, while separate, are also provided for free, as are food waste collections but only for street-level properties. Bulky waste removal, on the other hand, despite having no cost attached for properties in Wapping, are limited to two collections for every household per calendar year. In addition, due to the excessively large number of residents trying to arrange for the removal of bulky waste from their property, wait times for the bulky collections are typically 2 to 4 weeks, which has resulted in many choosing to use the paid-for services offered by waste management companies instead.
