Mobile Recycling Centre @ Sainsbury's Dog Kennel Hill

[Veolia Southwark]

Southwark's Mobile Recycling Centre will return to Sainsbury's Dog Kennel Hill on Wed 2 Aug, between 10am and 1pm.

This is a FREE service, funded by the London Waste and Recycling Board (LWARB), to make it easier for residents to recycle materials which cannot be collected as part of normal household recycling collections and accepts the following items:

> Books

> Small electrical appliances

> Wood and timber

> Metal

> CDs/DVDs

> Clothes and shoes

> Printer cartridges

> Batteries

> Lightbulbs of any kind

Items collected are brought to the Southwark Integrated Waste Management Facility before being sent onto charities and reprocessors to be reused or recycled.

The Mobile Recycling Centre also dispenses single-use garden waste sacks and clear recycling sacks for flats.

It DOES NOT accept general waste or standard household recycling (except cardboard).

Hello,

My husband is there at the DKH Sainsbury's and he says there's no sign of a mobile recycling centre. Please advise.

Thanks!

Lucky I saw vch's post yesterday morning as was ready to go with bits to go for recycling.

Looks like Veolia needs to visit places they are posting on!

Thank you for your messages. I have just returned from two days of illness so am seeing these for the first time today.

The Mobile Recycling Centre suffered a flat battery and was therefore unable to make the trip.

Please accept my sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused. I will ensure colleagues update this forum in future should the Mobile Recycling Centre be unable to honour advertised bookings.

Thanks for letting us know and hope you're feeling better.

I was also caught out by the absence of the mobile recycling centre at Sainsbury's.

I've just taken the same stuff to the mobile recycling centre at Peckham library but it was also absent. My unerstanding was that the Sainsbary's one is on the first Wednesday of the month and the Peckham one is on the third Wednesday of the month. Is that not correct?

Regards,

Tim

Hi Tim. The battery is flat again. I am parked up round the back of Peckham Pulse awaiting recovery. Please feel free to bring what you have over.

[Jacqui5254]

Could you please confirm when the next date or dates are please?

thanks.

Hi Jaqui

Unfortunately there are no more scheduled dates for the MRC.

The use of the the vehicle/service is currently under review. If and when the MRC will return to Dog Kennel Hill we will post on this forum.

Kind regards
