Recycling collection in north London

What Can I Recycle at Home?

It’s important that we all recycle properly, by putting the right things in the right bin. This means that recyclable materials aren't contaminated by things people have put in the wrong bin.

No matter which borough you live in you can put the following items in your recycling bin: cartons, mixed glass bottles and jars, food tins and drinks cans, mixed paper and card, mixed plastic packaging. You can also recycle garden waste and food waste (but not in Barnet).
