What you need to know about Friern Barnet

Friern Barnet is a north London suburb located 11.9 km north of Charing Cross, within the London Borough of Barnet. Like many other outer London suburbs, the district was mainly a rural settlement prior to the opening of nearby railway stations in the 19th century, which was followed by a period of relatively rapid development. As a result, modern housing options in the area are still significantly outnumbered by older properties, including a large number of Victorian and Edwardian homes. Despite being a predominantly residential suburb, Friern Barnet still offers an adequate number of shopping options, with several major retailers opening branches in the retail park. The district is moderately accessible, with nearby tube stations in Finchley Central and Arnos Grove and a railway station in New Southgate, plus a number of London Bus routes serving the area.

What are the different ways to dispose of waste in Friern Barnet?

While Friern Barnet has largely the same options as neighbouring districts in terms of waste disposal, its proximity to the local council’s reuse and recycling centre (RRC) and several rubbish dumps makes it significantly easier to keep household refuse and recycling bins clear. Additionally, a wide range of waste removal options are available due to the number of private contractors offering their services in the area. Bin collection, skip bag hire, and man & van are the usual services for disposing of domestic waste, while skips, and grab hire are more often used when trade waste or larger quantities of rubbish are involved.

Where are the nearest recycling centres in Friern Barnet

In Friern Barnet, the nearest civic amenity site is the local council’s primary RRC, which is south of the district’s centre, on Summers Lane. The site is open seven days a week, from 9 AM to 4 PM, and they are able to accept most types of household waste, including gas bottles and tyres. Like most other recycling centres, Summers Lane cannot take hard plastics, asbestos, household and garden chemicals, and unwanted paint. Asbestos can be taken to Islington’s recycling facility on Hornsey Street, but arrangements will need to be made for the collection of other types of hazardous waste. Summers Lane can accommodate vans, as well as pedestrians and cars, but making an appointment at least 24 hours ahead of time is required for those arriving in vans and large vehicles.

What rubbish collection services are available in Friern Barnet?

While the local authority’s weekly and fortnightly collections are still the most widely used waste removal service in Friern Barnet, there are a number of other options available from licenced waste management companies. Bin collection and skip bag hire are usually seen as more reliable alternatives due to the fact that scheduling is more flexible, while home or office clearance and man & van are more often used to handle special circumstances such as general cleaning days or the removal of unwanted furniture and other larger items. Waste clearance, in particular, typically includes the segregation of refuse and recycling as part of the service, plus the added benefit of minimised environmental impact when employing the top waste management companies.
