DISPOSAL OF REFUSE/RUBBISH
There are a number of communal refuse storage areas allocated to apartments.
There are both refuse and recycling bins available.
Residents are personally responsible for transferring their refuse from their
apartment to the refuse store.
If you find that a collection has been missed, please contact the Managing Agent.
The refuse store includes communal bins for household rubbish and recycling.
We request that you take the time to separate your rubbish accordingly and actively
participate in recycling. Please check out the following website for further

A mini recycling centre consists of multiple banks allowing you to recycle a number
of different items. Outlined below are the different types of banks you will see at
mini recycling centres.
Mixed recycling means the recycling bank(s) accept paper and card, glass bottles
and jars, tins and cans, empty aerosols, plastic bottles, pots, tubs and trays, and food
and drink cartons.
Clothes banks are separate banks which accept all unwanted clothes, textiles and
old rags. Please note: some clothes banks will also accept shoes - please check on
the front of the bank as it will be clearly marked if you can deposit clothes and
shoes.
Shoe banks are separate banks for the collections of unwanted shoes. Pairs of
shoes should always be tied together before being placed in the bank. Please note:
some shoe banks will also accept clothes - please check on the front of the bank as
it will be clearly marked if you can deposit shoes and clothes.
Light bulb and Battery recycling. Currently there is only one bank available for
recycling light bulbs and batteries and this can be found at Sainsbury's, Ladbroke
Grove.
Book banks mean you can deposit all unwanted hardback and paperback books.
Please note: some book banks also accept CDs - please check on the front of the
bank.
WEEEbanks. WEEE stands for Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment. Currently there are only two WEEE banks at mini-recycling centres in
the borough. You can deposit small electrical items such as mobile phones, kettles
and toasters into these banks, but not larger items such as big televisions, fridges or
freezers
