Barnes

Once a part of the historic county of Surrey, Barnes is now a quintessential riverside community within the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. One of the most sought-after locations in London, this former agricultural hamlet with a retained village charm has enticed many young professionals and families to be part of its thriving community. It is located less than 6 miles west southwest of Charing Cross, in a curve of the river. Barnes is a scenic laidback suburban community famous among established artists, politicians and media personalities. It’s also home to one of London’s most famous recording studios. Much of this historic village is in the Barnes Green conservation area and features picturesque well-preserved period houses, riverside terraced cottages, council housing and stylish flats as well as an extensive selection of indie shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants along Church Road. Barnes is just a 35-minute drive from the city centre via the A3212 and is served by Barnes Train Station.

What are the different ways to dispose of waste in Barnes?

Finding an efficient and convenient waste management solution is not a problem for residents, due to the numerous waste removal and skip hire companies in and around the area. Companies provide a range of services designed to accommodate the different needs of households and businesses as well as construction firms. What remains to be the most popular waste management solution for many is skip hire, which gives customers the freedom to choose from a wide range of sizes. The 4-yard skips are suitable for small-scale domestic projects while there are large Roll-on Roll-off skips with enough capacity to fit massive amounts of commercial and construction waste. Residents can also organise clearance services for homes, offices, garden and construction sites, as well as waste removal services for white goods, large pieces of furniture, mattresses, and sofas. These services are provided by companies who pride themselves upon recycling as close to 95% of the collected waste, minimising negative environmental impact.

Where are the nearest recycling centres in Barnes

Residents in Barnes only have to take a quick 7-minute drive via A3003 to find a free waste management solution at Townmead Rd. The civic amenity site there operates daily from 8 am to 4 pm during weekdays and 8 am to 4 pm on weekends. This facility accepts most types of waste with the exclusion of liquids, hazardous and clinical waste. Residents are required to book a slot 2 weeks in advance of visiting the site, this restriction is in place to avoid too much traffic in the area and prevent long queue lines, and residents are only allowed to stay for a maximum of 20 minutes if they are arriving in large vans and 10 minutes in smaller vehicles. It’s best to check the types of waste accepted at the facility as registering a list of items is necessary when booking for a slot. The local council’s twitter feed also included updates regarding the civic amenity centre, and there is another recycling centre located in Queen Elizabeth Walk that accepts cardboard, foils, glass, metals, drink cartons, paper, plastic bottles and textiles.
