What you need to know about Dalston

Dalston is a district within the London Borough of Hackney, occupying the area south of Shacklewell and east of Canonbury. The area has become relatively well-known for its many restaurants, which serve a wide variety of international cuisines to cater to the neighbourhood’s ethnically diverse population. Ridley Road Market and its numerous pitches have become a highly-frequented attraction as well, due to the impressive selection of international food and ingredients available there. Most of Dalston’s commercial amenities are part of the Kingsland Shopping Centre, which is located just south of the market and across the High Street from the Dalston Kingsland railway station, while the green space of London Fields also provides the district’s residents with ample opportunity for outdoor recreation. And even though the transport options in Dalston do not offer direct access to central London or the London Underground, relatively large numbers of railway stations in its convenient vicinity are served by a wide range of trains that link them to important destinations in the south and west London regions.

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

The large number of local man & van businesses and larger waste management companies operating in Dalston affords the district’s households and businesses access to a wide variety of waste disposal options outside of those provided by Hackney Council. These alternatives are generally preferred due to the added flexibility and extra conveniences they offer, such as more reliable contact channels, preferred scheduling, and same-day service, and available in a range of different forms. Even their most basic bin collections, however, are considered significant upgrades over the usual kerbside collections offered by the council, and most private contractors are able to tailor their solutions to the specific needs of their clients (rubbish quantity, collection times, etc.). Waste clearances, which are only offered in Dalston by a handful of waste management companies, are marketed as the most premium waste disposal option, as the service includes nearly all of the labour involved, starting with the segregation of the waste all the way up to the post-operational clean-up service.

Where are the nearest recycling centres in Dalston

Islington’s Hornsey Street reuse and recycling centre (RRC), located just a few districts to the west in Lower Holloway, is the nearest civic amenity site for addresses in Dalston. The site is open from 9 AM to 4 PM throughout the entire week and generally considered one of the better equipped facilities in the region, as they are able to accept cement-bonded asbestos in addition to the more common forms of household refuse and recycling. Additionally, any reusable items brought to the Hornsey Street RRC by Dalston residents can be efficiently turned over to the appropriate refurbishment programs or charities supported by the North London Waste Authority (NWLA), with Islington’s own Bright Sparks project playing a large role in the facility’s reuse initiatives.

What rubbish collection services are available in Dalston?

Hackney Council provides all households in Dalston with free collections for their general refuse, recycling, and food waste that range from daily (time-banded) to fortnightly, depending on the location and type of the property. Garden waste is also collected fortnightly free of charge, while free clinical waste collections can also be arranged after the council receives a recommendation from a nurse or GP. Bulky waste removal, on the other hand, which can be used for unwanted furniture (beds, sofas, etc.) or large household appliances, starts at £15 unless requested by a resident receiving housing benefit. Additionally, Hackney Council cannot guarantee time frames for the bulky waste collections due to the large volume of requests they receive, and failure to abide by the guidelines found on their website may result in the forfeiture of both the appointment and any fees paid.
