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:
- Location: North Harrow, Cambridge Road Car Park (View map and directions)
- Date: Saturday 17th May
- Time: 10am to 2pm
Meet us at the main car park, to the right when entering by foot or car via Pinner Road.
Future events will be announced on this webpage.
How it works
At each event, you can:
- Dispose of waste
