Christmas trees

If you have food/garden waste collections then you can just leave any real Christmas tree out on the next collection day.

Otherwise you can take real and plastic Christmas trees to the council waste collection centre on Devon Street, SE1 (just off the Old Kent Road).

Which differs in at least four respects from the times on Southwark's website! Left hand, this is your right hand, I don't believe you've met...


Not your fault though Mr.B, happy Christmas and thanks for being accessible for the forum this year!

Hi rendelharris,

I've had confirmation that the Dulwich Leisure Centre website was broadly correct but was missing 30 December which has now been added -https://www.everyoneactive.com/newsflash/christmas-opening-times-87/

Thanks. Without your inout this wouldn't have been corrected.

Just need the council website updated and corrected...

Worth noting that it's a Saturday timetable on London Overground from Dec 27, overnight services will run to West Croydon and Crystal Palace on New Year's Eve until around 0300.


Southeastern are also operating overnight services to Denmark Hill, Peckham Rye, Nunhead, Herne Hill, West Dulwich & Sydenham Hill on NYE from Victoria.


Route 185 will also operate overnight every 20 mins on NYE.

Have taken my tree to the recycling point in the middle of Peckham Rye for the last few years but can't find any info about it being a Christmas Tree recycling collection point this year. I live in flats so don't have garden/kitchen waste collections and don't have a car to drive to Devon Road. Any one have any ideas?

    • Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.
    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
