Mini recycling centres
A mini recycling centre consists of multiple banks allowing you
to recycle a number of different items. See a list of mini recycling centres in the Royal
Borough.
Types of banks at mini recycling centres
Mixed recycling
Mixed recycling means the recycling bank(s) accept paper
and card, glass bottles and jars, tins and cans,
empty aerosols, plastic bottles, pots, tubs and
trays, and food and drink cartons. Please do not recycle
any other items, especially food or garden waste, in these
banks.
Clothes banks
Clothes banks are separate banks which accept
all unwanted clothes, textiles and old rags. Please note:
some clothes banks will also accept shoes - please check on
the front of the bank as it will be clearly marked if you can
deposit clothes and shoes.
Shoe banks
Show banks are separate banks for the collections of unwanted
shoes. Pairs of shoes should always be tied together before
being placed in the bank. Please note: some shoe banks will
also accept clothes - please check on the front of the bank as
it will be clearly marked if you can deposit shoes
and clothes.
Light bulb and battery recycling.
Currently there is only one bank available for recycling light
bulbs and batteries and this can be found at Sainsbury's, Ladbroke
Grove (no. 18 on the list below). Please see
our battery recycling page and light bulb
recycling page for more details on where you can recycle these
items.
Book banks
Book banks mean you can deposit all unwanted hardback
and paperback books. Please note: some book banks also
accept CDs - please check on the front of the bank.
WEEE banks.
WEEE stands for Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment. There are now six WEEE banks at
mini recycling centres in the borough. You can deposit
small electrical items such as mobile phones, kettles and toasters
into these banks, but not larger items such as big televisions,
fridges or freezers.
The following mini recycling centres have WEEE banks:
-
Redcliffe Square, Redcliffe Gardens
SW10
-
Thurloe Square, SW7
-
Homebase car park, Warwick Road
W8

Holland Park car park, (Abbotsbury

yards south of Westway), W11 (Access between the hours of 7am

Larger items
Larger items can be donated via Freecycle or Computeraid, or if you buy any
new items check whether the store you purchased them from will
take away the old ones.
They can also be taken directly to Western
Riverside, Wandsworth or you can book too big for the bin
(chargeable or free if you’re on benefits) and where possible your
items will be re-used.
