Islington is a dense inner-London borough where recycling is compulsory and everything is collected at least weekly. Houses use green boxes (or clear bags) for mixed recycling; estates use communal bins. There's a weekly food waste service and a garden waste bag service.
The London Borough of Islington collects rubbish and recycling at least weekly. Houses and converted flats have green boxes (or free clear recycling bags) for mixed dry recycling — paper, card, glass, tins, cans and plastics, all loose and unsorted — with rubbish bagged in a dustbin. Estates and blocks have communal mixed recycling bins and communal rubbish bins. Food waste is collected weekly using a kitchen caddy (communal food bins on estates, expanding borough-wide). Garden waste is collected in reusable bags. Do not put recycling out in black bags. Present containers by the morning of collection.
Bin setup and collection days come straight from Islington. You can also check the council's own page at islington.gov.uk.
