What you need to know about Upper Holloway

Upper Holloway

Upper Holloway is a north London neighbourhood that covers most of the London Borough of Islington’s northern end and, together with Lower Holloway, makes up the larger district of Holloway. Much like its neighbouring half to the south, Upper Holloway is predominantly residential and home to one of the more culturally diverse populations in the region. The district, despite being the focus of a number of Islington’s more recent development projects, is still known for its many affordable housing options and the busy commercial area centred around the Nag’s Head section of Holloway Road has resulted in Upper Holloway’s relatively high population density.

What are the different ways to dispose of waste in Upper Holloway?

Households and businesses in Upper Holloway are able to handle their waste disposal needs using a variety of methods. While the usual council options, which comprise the regular household refuse and recycling collections and use of a reuse and recycling centre (RRC), remain the most popular means of keeping bins clear in the district, the alternative services offered by private contractors also see widespread use. Among them, bin collection, skip or skip bag hire, and wait & load are popular options for general clearance, while RO-ROs and muck-away services, such as grab lorry hire, are also available in Upper Holloway for larger loads of builders or construction waste.

Where are the nearest recycling centres in Upper Holloway

Due to the convenient location of Islington’s primary reuse and recycling centre on Hornsey Street in Lower Holloway, this facility also sees widespread use from residents in Upper Holloway. The site is open throughout the week, from 9 AM to 4 PM, and is considered one of the better equipped facilities in the region due to the wide variety of materials accepted at the site, including the availability of containers for cement-bonded asbestos. The Islington RRC also accepts most other types of household refuse and recycling, with the exception of hard plastics and hazardous waste. Moreover, the borough council’s own reuse and repair project, Bright Sparks, ensures that the majority of reusable items brought to the site will be redistributed rather than recycled straight away.

What rubbish collection services are available in Upper Holloway?

The different rubbish removal options in Upper Holloway mainly comprise the council’s regularly scheduled household refuse and recycling collections and the alternative solutions offered by local private contractors. Among the latter, bin collection and skip bag hire most closely mirror the usual kerbside collections, though with the added benefit of more flexible scheduling options. Wait & load services (including man & van), on the other hand, cost slightly more but are better suited to the removal of either larger volumes of household rubbish or bulky waste, like old furniture or large home appliances. Full rubbish clearance, which is only available from select waste management companies, remains the most flexible and convenient service, ideal for both households and businesses in Upper Holloway who would prefer to leave all manual labour involved to a professional team.
