Access Islington – council tax enquiries

Due to technical issues, Access Islington is currently unable to help with council tax queries over the phone or at our hubs.

You can still manage your council tax online through My Islington, including viewing your bill and making payments.

We’re working to resolve this as quickly as possible and are very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

If you need to speak to someone about council tax, please try again later.

Household waste

We provide rubbish collections to all households in Islington. We have a duty of care to collect and dispose of household waste.

Residents have a duty of care to ensure waste is placed in appropriate bags and bins and put out for collection at the specified collection times. If you are handing waste over for disposal, you must ensure they have a valid waste carrier’s license and a receipt for the disposal of your items.

You can dispose of your household recycling at recycling points in your area. Please don't leave waste outside the alongside the bins if they are full or locked. This is fly-tipping and you could be issued a Fixed Penalty Notice or face prosecution.

Green waste, builders waste and bulky items and hazardous waste require separate collections. We provide a green waste and bulky waste collection service that carry a small charge. Private companies can be used, but it is the resident’s duty to make sure a registered waste carrier removes the items.
