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.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
