Getting the best out of your wheelie bin

Refuse collections are provided for all households at least once a week. These services are operated by the council's contractor, Haringey Enterprise Ltd.

To find out which day your bin will be collected, please visit the Haringey Enterprise website (external link).

To report a problem with the refuse collection service, please use the report a problem page.

How you can help

The evening before collection day, please:

Put your wheelie bin within four feet of the front gate of your property where possible.
Make sure the wheels of the bin are facing outwards.
Manage your rubbish so that it all fits inside your bin.
Flatten items like boxes, cartons and plastic bottles.

Once it has been emptied your bin will be returned to the collection point. Please do not leave your bin on the pavement.
