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
Before your visit, please note:
- 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.
