Tiles (floor and wall)

These can be recycled at one of north London's reuse and recycling centres (RRC)(opens in a new window) Alternatively, you could make use of your local council's bulky collection service.

You can also take reusable DIY waste to one of our DIY reuse points (opens in a new window) at South Access Road Reuse and Recycling Centre in Waltham Forest or Summers Lane Reuse and Recycling Centre in Barnet.

Asbestos risk

Some old floor and ceiling tiles might be made from asbestos. Asbestos can be found in homes built or refurbished before the year 2000. If asbestos fibres are disturbed, they can harm our health. Visit the Health and Safety Executive website (opens in a new window) to find out the main places asbestos can be found. If you think you might have asbestos in your home, find an asbestos specialist who can advise you.
