What you need to know about Royal Docks

Royal Docks is a locality within the London Borough of Newham that is part of London’s redeveloped Docklands area. It has been built up as a special enterprise zone, which, combined with the fact that most of its regeneration took place at a later time than the rest of the Docklands, has resulted in the area generally having more modern residential and commercial properties, such as the Eastern Quay and Capital East apartment blocks and the large retail park in Gallions Reach. Royal Docks also boasts a good number of parks in addition to other leisure amenities, like a water park and several marinas and boat clubs. The London City Airport is also located in Royal Docks, between the Royal Albert and King George V docks, with those flying in being afforded immediate access to the area’s extensive assortment of pubs, restaurants, and hotels.

What are the different ways to dispose of waste in Royal Docks?

General refuse and recycling generated by households and commercial establishments in the Royal Docks area can be disposed of using most modern rubbish collection options, with a large number of private waste contractors offering their own paid-for alternatives in the area on top of those provided by the local authority. These alternatives include all the usual basic services like bin collection and skip hire, but there are a number of companies offering more specialised waste removal solutions in the Royal Docks area as well. Several have additional collection and disposal options for electronic, confidential, or hazardous waste, while a few even offer all-inclusive waste clearances for homes, offices or industrial estates in the area.

Where are the nearest recycling centres in Royal Docks

Depending on the exact address of the property, households in the Royal Docks area will have either Newham’s local civic amenity site on Jenkins Lane or Tower Hamlets’ facility on Yabsley Street in Poplar as the nearest reuse and recycling centre (RRC). Either can be used for the disposal of domestic rubbish, recycling, and bulky waste, but only the Jenkins Lane facility is able to accept commercial waste (charges apply) as well. Reusable items may also be taken to either site, but Newham Council encourages Royal Docks residents to first try other means of finding new owners for them. Both RRCs are open the entire week, but the Yabsley Street has longer hours on weekdays, which may make it a better option for late-afternoon trips.

What rubbish collection services are available in Royal Docks?

All households in the Royal Docks area have regular collections for their domestic, which are provided by Newham Council free of charge. These collections vary in frequency based on the exact address of the property but cover both general rubbish and recycling. Garden and clinical waste may also be collected at no cost to Royal Docks residents, but these collections are not part of the standard service and will require contacting the council in advance. Bulky waste removal, on the other hand, is considered a paid-for service that can be requested as many times as necessary. Each collection costs £20 and covers up to six large household items, including unwanted furniture and large appliances.
