All the changes to Islington Christmas and New Year bin collections that you need to know about
Islington residents will see various changes to their waste and recycling collections over the Christmas period.
The council does not run a collection service on bank holidays, meaning collections will take place one day later than normal. This includes collections for mixed recycling, food waste, garden waste, and rubbish.
Normal collections will resume from Monday 5 January.
Usual collection day - Revised collection day
Thursday 25 December - Friday 26 December
Friday 26 December - Saturday 27 December
Thursday 1 January - Friday 2 January
Friday 2 January - Saturday 3 January

- Barnard Park
- Elthorne Park
- King’s Square Gardens
- Rosemary Gardens
- Wray Park Crescent (park end)
- Spa Fields
- Tufnell Park
- Highbury Crescent

The council said: “Please also remember to do your bit for the environment by recycling your food waste when you’re making Christmas dinner!”
