What rubbish collection services are available in North London?

Borough councils in North London provide regular collections of general waste and dry mixed recycling as a standard service to residents within the boroughs. Councils also offer free food waste collection and provide either bags or food caddies which are usually color coded brown. Due to the nature of collecting different waste types on a large scale, most councils run a fortnightly collection schedule, using color coded bins requiring that residents are aware of their timetable so they can put out the right waste on time for it to be collected. Local authorities greatly rely on the cooperation of residents to ensure that recycling is not contaminated with other types of residual or general waste, as this can cause delays further along the line at materials recovery facilities.

All the north London borough councils offer a subscription service for garden waste collection, which if it needs to be paid for normally costs between £50 and £75 per annum. Additional paid rubbish removal services such as special collections for bulky items, and additional bin collections are also provided by local authorities payable to the council. Clinical waste collection is provided for free upon request for the service with a referral letter from a GP or other medical practitioner on behalf of the patient. For white goods such as freezers and fridges, and waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) a payable collection service also applies and the council is usually able to collect such items. The 7 North London boroughs are able to offer this as a limited free service through their contracted partner organisation, and residents can visit their prospective local authority website for more details.

How is the local authority in North London handling your waste?

The North London boroughs transfer recycling to Materials recovery facilities where they are sorted and then sent on to be reprocessed. This is carried out by waste management businesses working in collaboration with borough and county councils to recover value from waste, and divert waste from landfill sites. Integrated waste management facilities provide mechanised sorting and cleaning of materials using cutting edge technology and processing equipment. When materials arrive at the recovery plant they are quality checked for contaminants, which can cause problems in the sorting facility if they are not identified and removed from the conveyor, which is why councils implement colour coded bin systems for residents so that separation and decontamination of materials can occur early on in the process.

North London Council's Waste Management Performance:

· Overall annual spend on waste management £60,557,084
· Per resident spend £37
· Landfill rate 49.68%
· Reuse and recycling rate 50.32%
