What to Throw Where
What to Throw Where
It is possible to recycle a wide range of items in the building, via Islington Council's recycling service. Mixed recycling can be placed in the green bins on each level, food waste in the outdoor bins in the courtyard at Level 0, and non-recycleable waste goes in the black bins on each level.
You can also recycle electrical goods and clothes via the drop-off bins near the Sobell Leisure Centre.
If you have anything that is unwanted and you think others may like, then you can share this on the facebook group, and if you still need to dispose of it then you will need to book a collection with Islington Council via https://www.islington.gov.uk/recycling-and-rubbish/large-items/bulky-waste/ordering-a-collection-online and arrange with the concierge access to the main bin store. Please don't leave large items in the lobbies or bins stores as we all pay a charge for the cleaners to remove these which mounts up over the year!
Below is a list of what you can and cannot recycle at the moment, based on Islington council's guidance.
