What you need to know about Beckton

Beckton

Beckton is a district within the London Borough of Newham that is located south of East Ham and to the north of the Royal Albert and King George V docks area. It is mainly a suburban area occupied by relatively wide blocks of residential properties dotted with retail shops and restaurants, but a large portion of the district is given over to its three large parks. Its residents’ shopping needs, however, remain well-served due to Beckton’s proximity to the Docklands’ commercial spaces, including the sizable Gallions Reach retail park to the east and the clusters of shops and restaurants around the area’s rail stations. Beckton also has its own DLR station near the centre of the district, but the Royal Albert, Beckton Park, Cyprus, and Gallions Reach DLR stations provide a wealth of convenient transport options, particularly for those living in the southern half of the neighbourhood.

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

A wide range of waste disposal options are available in Beckton, with a large number of waste carriers offering a good selection of paid-for rubbish removal alternatives to those provided by the local authority in the area. These include more basic services, such as bin collection and skip bag hire, but larger quantities of both household and commercial waste are also covered, due to the availability of options like skip hire. Additionally, homes and offices in the area can contact several waste management companies to arrange for waste clearances, which include not only the removal of rubbish from a property but most of the labour involved as well.

Where are the nearest recycling centres in Beckton

Newham’s local reuse and recycling centre (RRC), located northeast of the district on Jenkins Lane, is the nearest civic amenity site for addresses in Beckton and provides both households and businesses in the area with an extremely convenient means of waste disposal. The waste facility is able to accept bulky waste in addition to most types of general rubbish and recycling and is open from 7:30 AM to 5:45 PM, seven days a week. As long queues to use the Jenkins Lane RRC are common, however, the East London Waste Authority (ELWA) advises either calling ahead before or making use of the live video feed of the approach to the site before making the trip there.

What rubbish collection services are available in Beckton?

Newham Council offers free waste collections for all residential properties in Beckton. Residents can expect to have their general rubbish and recycling bins emptied at least once a week, but garden and clinical waste will only be collected (also for free) by request. Bulky waste collections may also be requested from the local council but are considered a paid-for service. These cover not only large household items, such as sofas, mattresses, and “white goods,” but also large volumes of rubbish that cannot be collected by the basic service. Each collection is able to handle the removal of up to six large items or a proportionate number of standard rubbish sacks and is charged £20, but the council is unable to guarantee a specific time frame due to the large volume of requests they receive.
