Drop & Go

Harrow’s ‘Drop & Go’ waste and recycling events take place once a month on a weekend. It’s designed to help residents dispose of waste such as bulky waste, old electricals and textiles.

Each month we’ll visit a different ward to help residents recycle better and help reduce fly-tipping. It’s one of our key Flagship Actions set out in the corporate plan to restore pride in Harrow and keep our borough clean and safe.

Drop & Go events

The next event will be announced on this webpage soon.

How it works

At each event, you can:

  • Dispose of waste
  • Pick up free food waste caddies and liners
  • Sign up for garden waste collection

How to use Drop & Go

  • You will need to bring Proof of ID
  • Each household can bring up to 5 items only. 
  • One bag of recycling or rubbish counts as one item.
  • You must be able to carry your items yourself.
