- Garden waste: branches, grass, soil (limited quantities).
- Construction debris: bricks, plasterboard, tiles.
- Hazardous waste: paint, chemicals, asbestos – needs specialist handling.

Local Waste Options in North London
Each borough runs its own recycling centres – Islington's centre is at Hornsey Street, Camden's at Regis Road, and Haringey's at Wood Lane. However, they have restrictions: you may need a van permit, and there are limits on certain materials. For larger loads, a private waste removal service is often more convenient and guarantees proper disposal.
