Waste Collection and Clearance in Selhurst

Selhurst sits 7.8 miles from Charing Cross, bordered by Thornton Heath, Croydon, South Norwood and Woodside. The ward had 18,087 residents at the 2011 census.

The single biggest thing to plan around is Selhurst Park, Crystal Palace Football Club's ground, at the northern end of the neighbourhood. On match days the roads around it are a completely different proposition — parking restrictions, road closures and crowds — and we would far rather schedule a clearance around a fixture than sit in it. If your property is near the ground, it is worth telling us when you book.

Selhurst Depot, used mainly by Southern, takes up a large parcel of land too, so the street pattern is broken up by rail infrastructure in ways a map does not make obvious. A description of the approach is often more useful to us than the postcode alone.

The housing is dense and mixed. Where a property is a flat or a converted house, the floor and whether there is a lift matter more to the quote than the room count; where it is a terrace, the constraint is usually on-street parking and a carry to the van.
