Recycling collection not happened - 3+ weeks and counting


Recommended Posts

'Lol maybe it's art of a plot by Southwark to make us pay for all recycling 🤐'


Don't give them any ideas!!!!


I have never had a problem with them coming round after a reported missed collection, but maybe I've been lucky so far on the couple of occasions I've had to chase them up.


Local councillor intervention???

I don't think they have to put them back in your garden, ours are not on my road & it says on the leaflets that you are supposed to leave your bin outside your garden for their collection too.

ours wasn't collected week before last, it was also full up to the top so I reported a missed collection online & they came & emptied it the next day.

Neither my blue or green bin have been emptied today, just had to report again (2nd time this month):(

The blue bin crew on my run this morning were all new (to this route) and only one person on the brown bin lorry was part of the regular crew on my run. Crews and routes are clearly being changed (and Southwark said as much in their circular) although my collection dates haven't changed, just the people doing the collection.


Hopefully this will all settle down soon and proper collections will resume, but, with the new system starting next week (but most of the necessary impedimenta - new bins and stickers - not yet having been issued) don't hold your breath. My brown bin man says take-up of paid for garden collections has been low across the borough, but of course many residents are not blessed with gardens in the north. He didn't know what the take-up was specifically in the Dulwichs.


My fear is that we will see a lot more dumping and hijacking of legitimate large brown bins by those choosing not to pay.

Is your collection assisted or not ?

Assisted means they enter the property to get the bin out and put it back in

If not then you get it out and pull it back In

Bins are collected from outside of the property and bin man is not a milkman who will know on your door and tell you good morning and ask where do you want it

    • You can request for them to come and collect your full bins again https://forms.southwark.gov.uk/ShowForm.asp?fm_fid=1879 They usually come on whatever day your rubbish/recycling collection day is. If you aren't going to be in, leave them somewhere that they can find it. If you don't need replacements, just leave a note on the full ones that a replacement isn't needed.  They usually come quite early, so it's better to leave them outside if you can. 
    • Just wondering- what were they arrested for? If you remember 
    • Cyclists certainly do have a bit of a perception problem at the moment and when I cycle I see a lot of examples of arrogance and ignorance that gives all cyclists a bad name - it does seem that many cyclists have caught the entitlement bug many drivers seem to have.
    • But Spartacus didn't mention the significant amounts of land being used for car storage - that was most definitely you.   And I am afraid when you apply your same measure to other transport uses (like cycleways and cycle lanes - Malumbu is your stat on the 360 kms of cycle network cycleways or cycle lanes?) then it most definitely is relevant for the debate.   Should we assume then that if all this ULEZ money and government bailout money is being poured into TFL then the system is, financially at least, broken or is it a case that the money is being mis-spent (like the DV junction project)?
