Haringey Waste Collection
I see we are getting lots of charges. If your bin gets broken you will have to pay £30 to get another one, no more bag green waste collections for free you have to pay £75 a year, Up to 4 bulky item collection £25 a go with ten quid for each extra item, at the end on the month when this comes in we will see a massive increase in dumping. I will report every bit o

Also, I’m going out right away to paint my house number on our waste/recycling bins. These are going to get stolen. Who’s going to pay £30 for a new bin when theirs ‘walks’ up the street - and there are a lot of people moving in and out of this area, renting, letting, subletting, sharing, who simply won’t have the money to pay for a waste bin.
Welcome to Austerity Britain - living in a shithole.
Another hotspot is by the cashpoint near Tesco Hornsey Road. They have put stickers saying area is monitored and offenders will be fined but so far it has had no impact. Even the Tesco staff are peed off about it...
Round the corner from Tesco, on Tollington Way just before you hit the football pitch next to St Mark 's school, there are always tons of dumped rubbish by the first front door you come across . Totally disgusting, especially since the pavement there is very narrow...surely the Council know who these people are?
There are horrors under the railway bridge again, too.
It must be possible to get data from the refuse contractor on what volume of garden waste is actually been getting collected within Stroud Green, the council must have used data of that sort to make the decision on this. That would quantify just how much of a problem this will actually be because it is obvious that people will either take it to the depot, put the waste in the black bin or dump it. How much money is actually being saved doing this as the collection was on green bin day so they are passing anyway
From a green perspective which the council to push, less green stuff will be recycled and there will possibly more funds from cars taking the stuff to the depot
Can you please provide some transparency and explain the savings and the council logic behind this decision? Or point where this information exists?
I have noticed dumped garden waste in Marquis Rd this morning and dumped rubbish on Lorne Road and Marquis Road
Thanks in anticipation.
We use a modern equivalent of the rag and bone man at work. Bloke and his son pitch up in a tipper truck a couple of times a year and pick up all our old stuff - broken chairs, damaged stock, old phones and ancient IT stuff etc. I guess they make money in scrap and reselling. It would be a right pain to try to get Westminster to collect it, they are not interested in collecting business waste.
