Issues with some online forms

We are having technical issues with some online forms, which means a small number of customers may experience problems when carrying out some transactions, including renewing or buying parking permits.

Most forms are working, but if you have any issues please try again in five minutes or call Contact Islington on 020 7527 2000 (please be aware that the lines may be busy due to high call volumes). We are looking at this as a priority and hope to get this up and running as quickly as we can. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Reuse and Recycling Centre

You can dispose of your household recycling and rubbish at the Reuse and Recycling Centre (RRC).

Hornsey Street Reuse and Recycling Centre is open from 9am-4pm daily. Advance booking is essential. If you are experiencing issues or need help to make your booking, please call LondonEnergy Ltd: 07483 077 859 Monday to Friday between 8.30am and 4.30pm.

The service allows people to dispose of household or garden waste items. Strict social distancing measures are in place to ensure the safety of residents and staff. Please follow guidance and act responsibly. For more information visit the North London Waste Authority 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.
