About bin collections in London Borough of Camden
The London Borough of Camden manages household waste and recycling from around 115,000 households across Camden Town, Kentish Town, Hampstead, Belsize Park, Highgate, West Hampstead, Kilburn, Swiss Cottage, Bloomsbury and Holborn. Collections are operated by Veolia on behalf of the council. Bins should be at the kerb by 7am on your collection day. Full service information is at camden.gov.uk/bins.
Camden provides weekly kerbside collections for rubbish and recycling on the same day each week. The black wheelie bin is for non-recyclable household waste — bag rubbish before placing it in the bin. The green bin or box accepts paper, cardboard, glass bottles and jars, food tins, drink cans, and plastic bottles and rigid plastic containers — all clean and loose, not in bags. A brown bin garden waste subscription service is available for properties with a garden, collected fortnightly, accepting grass cuttings, leaves, hedge trimmings, prunings, weeds and small branches. Food waste collections are being rolled out — check camden.gov.uk for availability at your address.
Camden collects on all bank holidays except Christmas Day and New Year's Day; if your collection falls on either of those days it will be rescheduled. Report missed collections within 24 hours by calling 020 7974 4444 or at camden.gov.uk/bins. Properties on the borough boundary may fall within Barnet, Islington, Westminster, Brent or Haringey.
Camden does not operate its own Household Waste Recycling Centre. The nearest sites for bulky waste, electricals, paint and garden waste are listed at camden.gov.uk/bins.
