Shop renovation waste removal on Middlesex Street E1 – wall boards, green tubs, paint tins, boxes and black bags on the pavement outside a shop on Petticoat Lane — Before: the renovation waste on the pavement on Middlesex Street, E1, at 8:39am.

What Counts as Shop Renovation Waste?

Anything left over from stripping out or redecorating a shop. Here that meant old wall boards and panels, empty adhesive tubs and paint tins, packaging and boxes, black bags, foam, timber offcuts and old fittings. It's a mixed load: part builders' waste, part shop clearance.

Mixed loads like this go in one collection. You don't need to sort it into separate piles before we arrive.

Can You Load From the Kerb on Petticoat Lane?

Yes, if you pick the right day and time. Middlesex Street is part of Petticoat Lane Market, which Tower Hamlets Council runs on Sundays from 9am to 3pm. The numbered red boxes painted on the road mark out the market pitches. On weekdays the market is round the corner on Wentworth Street, from 8am.

This collection was on a Friday, early in the morning, so there were no stalls on Middlesex Street and the street was quiet. That meant our two operators could load straight from the pavement and get the van away quickly. For a Sunday job here, plan around the market instead.
