The Mobile Recycling Centre will again be at Sainsbury's Dog Kennel Hill between 10am and 1pm on Wed 5 Oct.


The Mobile Recycling Centre 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:


>Books (new!)

>Small electrical appliances (please note: the electrical bank in the car park has now been removed owing to abuse)

>Wood and timber

>Metal

>CDs/DVDs

>Clothes and shoes

>Printer cartridges

>Batteries

>Lightbulbs of any kind


Materials 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 biodegradable garden waste sacks and clear recycling sacks. It also sells 'Pro Grow' soil conditioner and subsidised compost bins and wormeries.


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

Hi, We have used the Lambeth recycling depot in West Dulwich for many years since it is close and convenient. But I have been told that, from 1 Oct, it will be restricted to Lambeth residents meaning the closest Southwark recylicng centre is off Old Kent Road.


So, can you have this mobile recycling centre at Sainsburys operating at weekends, when ordinary working people can use it, rather than in the middle of the week?

Fair point. Is there somewhere else that the council could arrange for Veolia to use at weekends which is more accessible for Dulwich residents?

Veolia - I definitely agree that it would be helpful if the mobile recycling unit could be made available to us for more than the current mere 3 hours a month on a weekday morning. So, as suggested by previous posters - more locations & more choice of times, particularly as the number of permanent recycling sites are being reduced, as already mentioned. The next one to go is the one on Peckham Rye Common, due to fly-tipping abuse, The Friends of Peckham Rye Park have said it's going shortly.

    • Sue. You really don’t have to keep saying about the electoral system    a) we all know about it b) it doesn’t matter    FPTP is the system we have always had and hopefully we will get rid of it someday but it is what it is    when anyone suggests changing the system Corbyn is right there at the front of the queue to prevent it   so its pointless him or any of supporters complaining about it    the evidence you want is the result of the elections. You can’t have clearer evidence. 
    • Has anyone from the school commented? Have they said why? Is it a fresh start? Is it that Grove in the name may have connotations of wealth and they want to attract more applicants from a wider area? Is that it currently is linked to the DKH Estate? 
    • As you quite rightly say a sample of 500 is extremely  small. (actually unrepresentative in the scheme of things) Now corbyn has his own party or should that be Party, it'll be interesting to see if it is merely a "think tank" or if it contests seats and then if they win any and if they chase currently held seats by Labour. It'll be even more amusing if it unseats current Labour Ministers though.
