Hi,


Our recycling bin has not been emptied for two weeks now. Generally, we have a once-weekly Tuesday morning collection. I have rung Southwark and am waiting for a call back. Anyone else experiencing the same problem? Or does anyone know if there is a change in the service? Thanks

Ours is on Tuesday as well - arrived and did the business as normal. I have found that the times of arrival aren't always exactly the same, but generally for us in Underhill below Langton Rise mid to late morning for both blue (and alternately green) and brown bins. The brown bins crews (each week) are the same, as are the blue/green bin crews - so if your green bin has been collected last week that should be the same crew as collects your blue bins on alternate weeks. They may not collect the bin if it contains something clearly not dry recyclable - but if that's not the case they may just be missing it. Do you pull it to the front of the property?

Hi Shaila Shah,

The current system is every week either normal rubbish or recycling is collected . So a fortnight between each of those collections. The exception is food waste and garden waste which is still weekly.

If after 6pm on the due date you've not had the correct collection you should contact the council.


You can double check what date things will be collected via -http://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/200084/recycling_and_waste/1362/what_are_my_collection_days_and_service

If any of the below are in your recycling, they will not collect. You need to remove these items first;



Contamination

Please only place the items above inside your blue bin or box, communal recycling bin or clear bag. The following items are commonly presented in household recycling containers but must not be:

Food waste

Textiles


Plastic bags

Black bags

Small items of household furniture

Please place materials into bags, boxes or bins loose. Materials presented in black bags will not be collected.

Interestingly, today, the 'blue bin' men put (into my bin for collection) rubbish from other bins, which included items in plastic bags (including black plastic) bags. I was slightly worried my bin then wouldn't be collected - but no problems on that front!

    • Multiple complaints and reports of the leak but no barrier as of 4.30pm today. Shockingly bad form especially as they had TW engineers on site across the road this morning. Fix one, another bursts. Lots of residents without water in this hot weather, just terrible...
    • I agree... perhaps you could also write to our local councillors to point these things out. Never know they might actually reply! Thanks for your help speaking to Monica. She may hopefully have useful contacts re obtaining a key. Completely agree - what's on (which could include some small businesses  such as Theatre Peckham, which I think may be a charity or at least community not for profit? And school fairs type thing..) plus anything the community would find useful, such as free events for the elderly (LinkAge are active in ED and surrounding areas) and lots more.
    • Thanks that’s all really useful.
    • Looks like they have massive issues with numbers of visitors too... “People have literally just arrived and are refusing to leave. Chaos. They booked out all the lane spaces but let people in. Absolute sh*t show.” https://www.the-londoner.co.uk/were-police-called-to-brockwell-lido/
