Business waste is not allowed.
Unwanted items will be recycled or disposed of by Veolia.

There are many ways to share, donate or reuse unwanted items in good condition.
Reuse in Camden
You can arrange a collection if you want to throw away a large item, such as furniture, or difficult to handle electrical items, such as a fridge.
Large Item collection
If you live on an estate, you may have a bulky waste store. Please check with your caretaker.
Items that don’t fit in your bin can also be taken to Regis Road Reuse and Recycling Centre
