Camden bin collections

By Mark Andrews. Checked against Camden Council pages on 26 October 2026.

Cookers, fridges, washing machines and large TVs can go for free in Camden. AnyJunk collects up to four large electricals on Tuesdays, and you don't pay anything.

Which bin is which in Camden

Recycling goes in the green wheelie bin and food in the green kitchen caddy. Houses need bins out by 7am. Flats above shops have collection times set street by street.
