On Monday 28 September 2020, Waltham Forest Council introduced a modal filter at South Access Road, as part of the Coppermill Area Scheme and Quietway 2 (Cycleway 27) scheme.
This means that the way people access various premises such as Low Hall Depot and the South Access Road recycling centre has changed.
Instead of travelling along South Access Road, people travelling by motorised vehicles need to travel along Argall Avenue from Lea Bridge Road.
For more information on the Coppermill Area Scheme please visit the Enjoy Waltham Forest website.
There are three household waste and recycling centres in Waltham Forest:
Each site has different rules about what you can take, as well as different opening hours and days. Please check our web pages for details before you make a journey.
Items that are suitable to be used by someone else can be taken to the Second Time Around shop at the Kings Road Reuse and Recycling Centre, Chingford.
