Pay as you go sacks

Sack collections are available on a pay as you go basis. These collections are recommended for businesses with limited storage space as an alternative to having a bin.

We also offer cardboard strips to bundle your flattened cardboard. These will help you to save space in your sacks for other waste items.

If you don’t have room to store bins on your premises, contact us at csi@barnet.gov.uk to discuss your options.

The type of containers you are assessed for may depend on the space you have on your premises and if your business is in a time banded location

Skip hire

We have a range of skip sizes and grab services available for hire. Ideal to help you get rid of large amounts of waste and available to all businesses, industrial premises, developers and residents.

Events

We provide one-off collections for events such as school fairs, fates, street markets and festivals. Contact us for more information at csi@barnet.gov.uk

Information for new developments

Refer to our guide for architects and developers for bin storage requirements if you are involved in the construction of a new development.

Guide for architects and developers (PDF, 223 KB)

Enough storage space must be made available for the number of refuse and recycling containers required for the maximum number of households, as outlined in the guide.

Waste management plans must be reviewed prior to construction to ensure the layout of sites complies with council health and safety requirements to prevent issues during bin collections in the future. 

For residential developments, bins must be purchased from us. We will deliver them before the development is occupied. For more information, contact us at binenquiries@barnet.gov.uk
