Other services on-site

Furniture in good condition dropped off by residents at our Reuse and Recycling Centres (RRCs) goes to one of our Reuse Shops, located within Kings Road RRC, Waltham Forest, or Barrowell Green RRC, Enfield, where items are inspected and safety checked. Items in the shops are affordably priced, offering residents the opportunity to get an item they need or want for a fraction of the cost of buying new.

Furniture such as upholstered furniture without a fire safety label, items with missing parts, damage that may make the item unsafe, or items that fail the quality inspection for any other reason will not be accepted for reuse, but will be sent for recycling where possible.

Eligible charities can take up to five tonnes of non-hazardous waste/recycling each year, free of charge, to three of our Reuse and Recycling Centres (RRCs): Summers Lane, Hornsey Street or South Access (in the London boroughs of Barnet, Islington and Waltham Forest respectively).
