What you need to know about Spitalfields

Spitalfields is one of the districts within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets and considered part of London’s East End. Even after the relocation of its renowned fruit and vegetable market to Leyton, the district is still mainly known for its markets, which currently include Brick Lane Market and Petticoat Lane Market, in addition to the Spitalfields and Old Spitalfields markets. 21st-century developments, however, have resulted in the construction of more modern commercial properties between Bishopsgate and Spitalfields Market as an extension of the City of London’s office spaces, which in turn led to the addition of a new square and more leisure amenities and commercial spaces in the surrounding area. Spitalfields’ proximity to London’s main business district, its wealth of shopping options, and extreme accessibility via multiple tube and railway lines have all played significant roles in making the district one of busiest and most frequented sections of East End.

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

Due to the large number of local man & van businesses and larger waste management companies offering their services in Spitalfields, properties within the district have access to a wide range of waste disposal options beyond those provided by their local council. The alternatives offered by private contractors are designed to meet the varied needs of households and businesses in the area and can range from very basic bin collection services that offer more flexible scheduling options to more specialised rubbish disposal solutions for more specific types of waste, such as electronic, confidential, or hazardous waste. Some companies even offer services that are designed to handle the wholesale removal of refuse and recycling from properties in Spitalfields, with full waste clearances for homes or offices generally being the most widely used option among those who prefer to leave all the work in the hands of professionals.

Where are the nearest recycling centres in Spitalfields

While Tower Hamlets does have a local reuse and recycling centre (RRC), it is located on Yabsley Street in Poplar, which is all the way at the other end of the borough and a considerable distance away from even the nearest addresses in Spitalfields. Even though its location makes it impractical for regular trips, however, it can be used in cases where the regular refuse and recycling collections provided by the council prove insufficient or large household items, such as unwanted furniture (sofas, beds, etc.) or major appliances need to be removed from a property sooner rather than later. The facility is open from 8 AM to 8 PM on weekdays, 9 AM to 6 PM on Saturdays, and 9 AM to 4:30 PM on Sundays and able to accept most types of domestic rubbish apart from the usual exceptions, like tyres, plasterboard, and hazardous waste.

What rubbish collection services are available in Spitalfields?

Tower Hamlets council provides all residential properties in Spitalfields with either daily (timed) or weekly collections for regular refuse and recycling free of charge. Street-level households may also have their garden and food waste collected at no cost, while clinical waste will also be collected for free as long as a recommendation from a nurse or GP is provided. Bulky waste removal, on the other hand, is limited to two free collections per year, with any additional collections needing to be arranged with a licenced waste management company instead. Additionally, the council typically receives large volumes of requests for bulky waste removal and, as such, cannot guarantee a time frame for a collection to be made.
