Garden waste recycling
From grass clippings and leaves to hedge trimmings, find out what you can include in your garden waste recycling bag and what you must dispose of elsewhere.
We collect garden waste from street properties with a weekly doorstep recycling service. This is limited to six standard sacks of garden waste per week for each property or street address (not per household).
You can also bring your garden waste to the Household Reuse and Recycling Centre. There are no other public recycling points for garden waste in Islington.
