Recycling Banks and Newspaper Bins

This page provides information about on-street recycling facilities provided by Haringey Council:

• Recycling banks
• Newspaper Bins
• What to do if the recycling bins are full

There are also special recycling banks maintained by external organisations at a few locations in the borough where drink cartons, clothes and shoes can be recycled. Please visit the carton recycling and textile recycling pages for more information.

Recycling Banks

There are recycling banks located on streets and other public locations throughout Haringey.

These banks can be used to recycle the following materials:

• Paper and cardboard (no drinks cartons please)
• Plastic bottles (no other plastics)
• Tins and cans (rinsed)
• Glass bottles and jars (rinsed, with lids removed please)

All of the recycling can be put into the same container as we sort the materials out later on.

What happens to recycling collected in mixed-material banks?

The recyclables collected in the new mixed-material banks are taken to a Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) in London which separates the materials using a combination of mechanical separation and hand sorting. Once separated these materials are then bulked and delivered to reprocessing companies.

For more information please see the mixed material collections section on the what happens to recycling page.

What to do if the recycling bins are full

We aim to empty all recycling bins on a regular basis to prevent them from overflowing. However, if you do find that your local recycling bins are full, that rubbish has been dumped on the site or they have been vandalised please call the Haringey Enterprise Call Centre on 020 8885 7700 or report the issue via our website using the report a problem eform.
