What We Can & Can’t Take in Islington

We handle most types of household, commercial and construction waste. Here’s a quick overview:

For the full list and specific item guidance, see What We Take. If you’re unsure about a particular item, just ask when you call.

Islington Council Bulky Waste vs Handy Rubbish

Islington Council offers bulky waste collections for residents to dispose of large household items that are too big for the normal bin. This can be a useful option for a small number of straightforward items, but it comes with conditions:

• The service is for household bulky items only, not commercial waste.
• Collections are charged at a discounted rate per booking, with limits on the number of items.
• You must book in advance and provide a list of all items to be collected.
• On collection day, items must be placed outside at the front of your property (usually by the boundary) by a specified time. Crews do not generally come inside to carry items out.
• There are restrictions on what can be collected – for example, they will not take certain hazardous items, and there are limits on builders’ and DIY waste.

The council service is useful when you have a few simple items you can move outside yourself and are happy to wait for a scheduled slot. It is not designed for full property clearances, mixed waste or urgent jobs.

Handy Rubbish is the flexible alternative when you need more:

• We collect from inside your property, including flats, townhouses, basements, offices and gardens.
• We can take mixed loads in one visit – household junk, furniture, white goods, garden waste, builders’ waste and electricals.
• We handle everything from single items to full property clearances.
• We offer same‑day and next‑day appointments, as well as scheduled visits for larger projects.
• We provide a Waste Transfer Note for every job and are fully licensed and insured.

Eco‑Friendly Rubbish Removal in Islington

Handy Rubbish is committed to environmentally responsible waste management across London, including Islington. Around 97% of the waste we collect is recycled or recovered, with landfill used only as a last resort.

Our process:

1. Collection & Sorting – We take your waste to licensed transfer stations where it is weighed and sorted by material type.
2. Reuse – Items in good condition, such as furniture and appliances, are diverted to reuse partners or charities wherever possible.
3. Recycling – Metals, wood, plastics, paper, cardboard, glass, soil and green waste are sent into specialist recycling streams.
4. Energy Recovery – Non‑recyclable residual waste may be used for energy‑from‑waste instead of landfill.
5. Landfill (Last Resort) – Only materials that cannot be reused, recycled or recovered go to landfill.

Every customer receives a Waste Transfer Note, confirming that your waste was collected and processed by a licensed carrier. This helps you meet your legal Duty of Care as a householder, landlord or business.

You can learn more about our approach on our mission and documents pages.

A Quick Guide to Islington N1 & EC1

Islington is one of North and Central London’s most vibrant areas, combining historic streets with a busy dining and cultural scene. N1 centres on Angel and Upper Street, with its mile‑long stretch of restaurants, bars, shops and theatres, while EC1 covers the Clerkenwell and Finsbury side, close to the City and Tech City around Old Street.

The area’s housing is varied: Georgian and Victorian terraces, elegant squares, mansion blocks, period conversions and modern apartments. Many properties have basements, lofts and limited storage space, which makes regular decluttering and efficient waste removal particularly valuable.

Transport links are excellent, with Angel, Highbury & Islington, Old Street, Farringdon and Kings Cross nearby, along with multiple bus routes and cycle lanes. With so many people moving in and out, upgrading homes and refitting offices, there is constant demand for reliable rubbish removal in Islington – from small flat clear‑outs and office strip‑outs to full house clearances and builders’ waste.
