Local rubbish tip

[trp489]

Hi All

I have some scrap wood that i am trying to get rid of from my garden. Tried googling local tips/dumps but didn't have much luck. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Tom

Yes, Manor Place up the Walworth Road, or check the Lambeth council website. They have one (for recycling only) in W Dulwich, nr Rosendale Rd.

..but the W Dulwich one is for Lambeth residents only and they often ask for proof of address to stop the Soutwark people going in. Takes much longer to get to Manor Place.

Just think up an address in Lambeth and try that if asked. Once in, the guys are usually very helpful.

I have probably been there over 15 times and have never been asked for proof of address.

Hi There

you can also ask Southwark council to pick it up for free. here is the link fill in the form and they will contact you within a couple of days.

xxxxxxx

Was that recently? The Rosendale Road tip has all changed since I last used it. It only takes recyclable stuff, for a start.

Well done you.

Thanks for the sarcastic/bitchy comment dv1. Really constructive.

Sue... it was a little while ago admittedly. Maybe a year or so.

[trp489]

Thanks to all for the responses.. will try them out.

Thanks

Southwark and Lambeth councils have an agreement that residents from each borough can use the others waste/recyclnig centres. Both are close to the others borders.

If you have a problem using the Lambeth Rosendale Road site please record the time, date and email me. Ideally aks the Lambeth council officers name.

Rosendale Road has never asked me for ID either but they don't let Vans in. The one off Walworth road does allow vans but you need to have ID. Full details of the Walworth Road place are here:

Manor Place

Thanks, James - this is really helpful - I have wasted a lot of time trying to work out how to take stuff to Manor Place on my way to work as it is so much less convenient than Rosendale Road - I have also asked Southwark to fetch stuff that I could have taken to the Lambeth recycling tip had I known it was allowed. But what can we do with rubbish that can't be recycled?

Didn't know that, very helpful.

Went to the Lambeth Rosendale Road one last weekend and they didn't ask for any info (we were in a car). They don't take plastics, which seemed odd.

[ruthmct]

In my experience Manor Place is better organised, with more recycling, and the staff are more helpful than at the Lambeth one.

To answer Musowriter, they aren't just for recycling - you can dump virtually anything there.

[Sue]

The Lambeth tip at Rosendale Road is for recycled goods only.

Sorry, edited to say I mean, stuff which can be recycled. They won't take anything else.

[Huguenot]

I think Rockets wanted some wood for his fence? ;-)

[ruthmct]

I hadn't realised the Lambeth one had changed to recycling only - a bit daft if you've got stuff that isn't recyclable. I went to Manor Place about a month ago, and they definitely take real waste as well
