Soil and stones

Soil can be taken to any of north London's reuse and recycling centres (RRC) (opens in a new window), but not Barrowell Green in Enfield.

Each north London household can take DIY waste capable of being fitted into two 50 litre bags, four times in any four week period. This includes concrete, brick, stones, pebbles, sand and gravel.

Please note, we are not currently able to recycle soil so it would need to go in the general waste container, once at the RRC. Hardcore and rubble (opens in new window) can still be recycled in a separate bin.

If you have a large quantity of hardcore material, consider hiring a skip. You can check whether a company is legally allowed to carry waste on the Public Register of Waste Carriers (opens in a new window).
