Recycling collections
Our council is committed to recycling as much of our borough's waste as possible and we provide free recycling collections for residents. We encourage everyone to recycle more of the right things and help make Hillingdon a green and sustainable borough.
Small electricals recycling
Take your small electricals to one of our libraries, where they will be collected and taken away for recycling.
