Business waste

Please see Government advice for businesses dealing with hazardous waste.

Waste from your home

Paint, asbestos and chemicals

You can take paint tins to the Garth Road recycling centre if the paint is dry.

You can apply for a free hazardous waste collection by the City of London to dispose of a limited amount of asbestos or liquid paint. The City of London provides this service on our behalf. 

You can take up to six bags or sheets of asbestos to the Garth Road recycling centre. Before you go to the centre:

• call 07342 073100 to make sure that there is enough space in the container 
• wet, double-wrap and secure the asbestos with tape.

Household batteries

Car batteries, car oil, electrical appliances, gas bottles, light bulbs and fluorescent tubes

You can take these to the Garth Road recycling centre.

Tyres

You will need to arrange for a private contractor to dispose of these.
