The annual service provided by Haringey Council to remove unwanted household rubbish will be taking place in Harringay between October and January. Haringey Council call this their "
Community Clear up".
See documents attached below to locate the exact date your street in Harringay (Information for streets elsewhere in the borough can be found on the Haringey website
here).
Residents can put out up to 15 bulky items for collection when the Community Clear Up is scheduled to visit their road. They will take:
- Household and garden furniture
- Mattresses and carpet
- Wooden items - must be broken down into pieces no longer than 1.5 metres (5 foot) and be bundled together
- Electrical appliances, excluding the items listed below, which can be collected free at any time.
They will not collect the following items as part of the Community Clear Up service:
- Fridges and freezers
- Ovens and cookers
- Washing machines, tumble driers and dishwashers
- TVs and IT equipment
- Car batteries
- Gas cylinders
- Tyres
These items have to be collected by a separate vehicle because they may contain hazardous substances or can be reused or recycled. The Council therefore collects these items free of charge, at any time of the year. To arrange a collection contact the Haringey Enterprise Call Centre on 020 8885 7700 or email haringey.enterprise@enterprise.plc.uk
For more information about this free collection service see the
bulky items collection webpage on the Haringey Council website.
In addition, the council cannot collect:
- Construction and renovation waste, including rubble, masonry and tiles
- Bathroom fittings including sinks, baths and toilet bowls
- Green garden waste
The Council advise that the community clear up service can be provided only to those homes that have a front garden area where large and bulky items can be placed out of harms way to passers-by. This means that although your road might be mentioned within the schedule, we cannot guarantee that every home will be able to receive the service.
Leaving items on the pavement is not permitted in any circumstances because this poses risks to pedestrians.
