Reuse and Recycling Centre
You can dispose of your household recycling and rubbish at the Reuse and Recycling Centre (RRC).
In light of the developing situation around Coronavirus, Hornsey Street Reuse and Recycling Centre will close at 8pm on Tuesday 24 March until further notice. We are working with the North London Waste Authority (NLWA), who manage this facility, to monitor the developing situation and will take the appropriate action to ensure that together we continue to provide an effective waste collection and disposal service to residents, and to ensure the safety of staff. For more information, please visit the North London Waste Authority’s (NLWA) website.
You can continue to recycle lots of items in your normal household collection service and you can find your nearest alternative reuse and recycling centre on the NLWA's website.
