I booked a bulky waste collection to get rid of a mattress. It is an online form where you list 10items and pay ?16. I was told via emailI had not put in my address. I wrote back confirming my address and also wrote about an easel that needed collection but as the form only lists certain items it could not be listed. I received no reply or date when they were coming. I therefore put nothing in my garden except the old barbecue (there anyway) which was item 10 and less important than the stuff cluttering up my house. They arrived today while I was clearly at home but did not knock on the door. They took the barbecue but none of the other items which included a mattress which was the main reason for needing the collection. I was home. I saw from my window them taking the barbecue. I banged on the window and tried to call out to stop them but they ran away and drove off in their van. I followed down the street waving my hands and calling but they continued driving. I tried phoning but they said I should complain formally. The complaints number says call back later as they are bust and hangs up. This seems so unacceptable. I am trying to responsibly chuck out rubbish.

AIUI these weren't actually in the garden when they came? In which case they've taken all that was left for them. I think it just needs checking that the other items paid for are still outstanding, and arranging for them to be ready for collection.

I had my bulky waste collected today also , bizarrely online you have to list everything you want collecting and your address but then I got an email asking me to list everything again as well as my address which I annoyingly informed them that this was asked already online. I was given a reference number and told to put the numbers on the items which I did . They did actually ring my doorbell to inform me that one item I had left out isn't what they are usually allowed to take ( but which I had stated on my form and email that I wanted collected ) but that they would take it anyway for me .

The online form isn't good either as it doesn't list all the items on the drop down box ( I had curtain poles which wasn't list in the drop down box as well as an ottoman box ) .

Lots of room for improvement.

    • Not with all the bins currently stored there.
    • We both own the freehold. They’re in the maisonette and I’m in the flat. They’re older, so with any luck, they’ll be selling soon. Unfortunately, due to recent events, all of this now has to be disclosed on the TA6 form. Honestly, I’d move out of sheer shame if I were them. Poisoning fruit trees planted for children is just cruel, and they haven’t even apologised. I genuinely wonder how they justify this to themselves. Envy is such a toxic and destructive emotion, and sadly, it often explains behaviour like this. I just wanted to say how grateful I am for the support from so many of you, especially at the East Dulwich Forum drinks and for the kind messages on both this forum and the Nextdoor app. It’s genuinely reassuring to know there are still decent, supportive neighbours around.
    • Hmm, you seem to have an agenda.  I like ait of measured that they have done to promote active travel, improving pedestrian and cyclist safety, whilst improving the streetscape. I avoid making sweeping statements about wildlife management as I don't know enough about their policies, and expect some in Southwark are passionate about what they do. Go along to a relevant local meeting and ask, I doubt if you will change a thing by posting here.  
    • It wouldn't surprise me at all.   The council used to spray the pavements all the time b4 lockdown.  They are probably doing it again.
