Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Free collection of small electricals
Got an email from Haringey today announcing this new service (see below):
Following the Waste Service consultation last year, residents asked for free small electronics collections. I’m pleased to announce that Haringey Council are now offering this new free collection service. If you have any small electronics that need disposing of then please book your free collection.
Items you can have collected from your home include:
- Hairdryers
- Shavers
- Kettles
- Toasters
- Mobile Phones
- Vapes
- Blenders
- Fans
- Radios
...If it fits into a carrier bag and is battery powered or needs a plug, it can be collected!

Grateful for this. It is just what is needed where I live. I am careful to keep electric and electronic waste separate but it seems the only means of disposal here is to get it to a tip some mile away. This place is used by heavy goods vehicles. I do not drive. I have tried local Facebook and WhatsApp groups to ask what everyone else does. No one responds so am I to conclude that most people chuck them in their household waste?
I have tried ringing waste collection companies. They deal with only large quantities. Mine is a small but growing collection of broken appliances, empty cigarette lighters, alkaline and lithium batteries and so on. I will now see if we have something similar here. I don't mind paying a charge but free collection is great!

If people have reusable\repairable stuff and can more easily get to one of our Repair Cafés, you're very welcome to drop them off to us to be rescued and we'll try to pass them to those in need.
Here's a list of upcoming Repair Cafés in Tottenham and Turnpike Lane

Excellent advice. If it can be reused - reuse it!

Good to hear this, thanks Michael. The bins on Endymion road by the Park gates are usually over-full with lots of stuff chucked around, hard to get anything into them,

I used to go there but found the same. Now I take my electrical waste to B&Q, where they have a bin by the store exit.
