What London councils do with household asbestos
Each London borough sets its own rules on household asbestos. The rules for three boroughs are summarised below.
- Havering
- Gerpins Lane recycling centre accepts asbestos from residents. Residents should contact the centre before a visit.
- Croydon
- Croydon's recycling centres do not accept asbestos. The council refers residents to a City of London Corporation collection service.
- Bromley
- Check with the council before taking any asbestos to a recycling centre.
A City of London Corporation collection service operates for some boroughs. Your own council can confirm whether it covers your address.

Note
Shared areas fall to the landlord or managing agent
A landlord or managing agent carries the legal duty to manage asbestos in the shared parts of a building, such as a communal hallway or boiler room. The duty does not apply inside an individual flat.
Work inside a flat is arranged directly with us. Where the work affects a stairwell or hallway, the freeholder or managing agent must also be involved.
London questions
Where do you travel in from?
We travel in to London from our base in Grays, Essex, east of the capital.
Can I take asbestos to a London recycling centre?
It depends on the borough. Havering's Gerpins Lane centre accepts asbestos from residents if they contact the centre first. Croydon's centres do not accept it. Check with your own council before taking any material.
Which part of London is closest to you?
East London is closest. The Havering side of the capital, around Romford, is the shortest journey from Grays.
