A flat above a shop or business
Flats above shops or businesses have daily recycling and rubbish collections from the kerbside.
What we collect
We collect the following:
- mixed recycling
- rubbish
- We will now be collecting food waste too - we’re rolling out food waste collections to residents living above shops, so everyone can recycle their food waste correctly. That means that we will be installing on-street food waste bins for these residents to use. Live above a shop? Keep an eye out for new bins being installed over the coming weeks and for more information through your door!
Request a free indoor caddy or outdoor container through your My Islington account.
We also provide posters and leaflets about recycling properly for anyone living or staying in Islington, such as in rented accommodation.
When we collect it
If you live in a flat above a shop you will receive daily time-banded recycling and rubbish collections. This means you must put your recycling and rubbish out for collection at specific times of the day to keep our main roads clear of rubbish.
What we provide
You may be able to request a delivery of recycling sacks to your home. Visit Request a service to request a delivery.
