Census 2021 puts Neasden at 3,586 households with a median age of 35.2. The inter-war stock is renter-heavy, which is why 49% houses and 51% flats need different handling in NW10.
Private renting sits at 47% and owner-occupation at 35%; the first group books green waste removal at short notice, the second plans it.
Neasden substrates run to with solid brick on the party and external walls — and lath and plaster over timber studs — and with 28% one-person households in Neasden, one adult is usually the only pair of hands on site. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because a plasterboard plug spun into lime plaster; locally that also means which crumbles the key and drops the panel — which is why London Borough of Brent kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded is the mistake that costs a NW10 customer twice.

Neasden is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
On access, north Circular access is difficult; side streets are wide with driveways — one reason two crew and a Luton on most garden clearances; three crew and a tipper where the load is mainly soil, turf or rubble and weight rather than volume decides the run.
