Timed collections and special locations

If you live in a flat above a shop or you are a business with a commercial collection your rubbish will have a timed collection. This is a one-hour slot that occurs twice a day.

On-street waste containment for residents of flats above shops

We are introducing new types of waste storage for many of our residents who live in flats above shops. Where space allows, we will be placing new containers that provide a convenient, clean and tidy solution for those without a waste storage area, reducing the mess that waste bags create along some of our busiest roads. 

Depending on the location, residents will have access to either:

• a MetroStor bin, which is a wheeled bin housed within a large black box
• a ‘drop box’, which is a smaller black box with lid that residents can leave their household bagged waste in

Homes that will have access to the new containment will be told by letter before installation. 

Once the on-street waste containment has been installed, residents must make sure all waste is tied in bags and placed inside the container. If you are found placing general waste outside of the container, or if anyone other than those it is intended for is found using it, you could be fined up to £400. 

Our street sweepers will also use the containers to store the bags of litter they accumulate ready for collection. 

Businesses must continue to put their commercial waste out for collection on the pavement during their allotted timed collection put-out times. Use the  Timed Collections schedule (PDF, 197KB) to check your times.

All businesses must be able to prove that they have appropriate waste management in place. Haringey, in partnership with Veolia, can provide this service. Visit the commercial waste page for more information.
