What you need to know about Bow

Bow is an east London district that covers most of the north-east corner of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. The area, which was previously most well-known for being home to most of Victoria Park, became the target of moderate redevelopment efforts as part of the construction of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, part of which now also falls within its boundaries. Bow is predominantly a built-up, residential area featuring a diverse mix of modern blocks of flats, Georgian terraced houses, and refurbished council estates. Roman Road, the district’s main commercial centre, is not only famous for the Roman Road Market, but also as one of London’s most exemplary traditional high streets. Due in part to the improvements in its neighbourhoods following the 2012 Olympics and its ample complement of convenient transport links, Bow has become one of the most desirable residential districts in the region.

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

Waste disposal options in Bow are between the council’s regular refuse and recycling collections and the waste removal solutions offered by local waste companies due to the lack of rubbish dumps in the nearby vicinity. While there are several facilities to the north-east, none of them are able to accept general household or commercial rubbish and deal specifically with construction waste instead. The alternative services offered by private contractors range from the more basic bin collections and skip hire to more specialised disposal options for specific types of waste, like confidential, clinical, and hazardous waste. Some of the larger companies even offer waste clearances for either homes or offices in Bow, which can be ideal for those who would prefer to leave the bulk of the work in the hands of professionals.

Where are the nearest recycling centres in Bow

The nearest reuse and recycling centre (RRC) for addresses in Bow is Tower Hamlets’ own civic amenity site, which is located in the north-east corner of the Isle of Dogs, on Yabsley Street, just south of the Blackwall DLR station. As it is a considerable distance away and not really practical for regular trips, the local council instead recommends the use of their recycling banks to dispose of household recycling in smaller batches. The two recycling banks in Bow are located at the St. Marks Gate Car Park and on Wennington Road. The banks can be used for the disposal of most common types of recycling, including glass, metal, and plastic containers and paper, but the items being put into the bins must be either loose or in transparent bags.

What rubbish collection services are available in Bow?

Residential properties in Bow are entitled to either weekly or timed daily collections for general household refuse and recycling provided by the local authority. Garden and food waste are also collected on a weekly basis, though collections for the latter only cover street-level properties. In addition, Bow Council also offers bulky waste collections for large items, such as white goods, sofas, beds, and other large pieces of furniture, which are a convenient alternative to making a trip to even the nearest RRC. On the other hand, the combination of the council’s limited resources and with the large number of people trying to arrange for a bulky waste collection at any given time has resulted in typical wait times being excessively long.
