Hi,


Anyone know what I could do with some (really) old electronics? I have quite a bit and have no car, so the Southwark recycling depot isn't an option. The WEEE at Sainsburys is only there on the first Wednesday of every month and only during office hours, so again not an option.


Thank you!

Sarah

I have been looking for a WEEE recycling facility and, logically, thought about the the Southwark web site.


I initially tried the map of recycling facilities.

http://www.southwark.gov.uk/bins-and-recycling/recycling/recycling-centres/map-of-recycling-facilities


This page is unbelievably bad, error box on first access, no key to symbols, when clicking on the site symbol (presumably should be a description of facilities available) brings up an empty box. Possibly it was designed and built by a 16 year old on work experience but even so is still useless. If it was actually built by someone who was paid for the job they and their managers should be sacked!


Anyway, I managed to find a different map which shows only 2 places for WEEE recycling, both right in North

If the council is serious about helping people responsibly recycle electronic goods there should be more WEEE facilities in the south of the borough and they should make it easier to find them. If not, people will just throw old electrical stuff in the general rubbish bin or just dump on the side of the road.

    • But what are you basing that judgement on? Vibes? where exactly and under what council is money being spent wisely? what about parties which promise to cut waste, come to power and find out there is no waste?   
    • I've just had James from Trelco round doing taps and hot water.  Prompt, efficient and pleasant people and the cost came in under what we thought it would be! Will definitely use them again.
    • Yes - adult care is a large part of the CT bill.  That does not mean the council spend our money well or wisely.        
    • “What do councils spend all the money on?” Is, in my view, one of the most profoundly emblematic of our times  we go about our lives, backed up by councils and governments and complain they aren’t needed  reform win elections based on “we’re gonna go in and slash all the waste!” Only to later admit there effectively isn’t any oh and by the way we need to increase council tax   Now all we have to offer is racism and ineptitude sorry about that  https://www.gbnews.com/money/reform-elon-musk-doge-failed-savings So where does the money go? On a multitude of services - but the increasingly aged population and the care provision required is a large part of it  the government could give councils more money to avoid council tax rises  - but the we would have to pay more in jewels taxation  and as a country we tend to pay less than other similar countries  so we end up with an expensive mend and make do approach  I don’t see any political parties offering a solution   Starmer is obviously lacking in many areas but he is the result of a hostile media and a reluctant population willing to hear truths  (wait until we hear how much we will need to increase defence spending by in the coming years) If a party stopped pretending all the money was wasted but published a list of costs, projections and proposals that wasn’t gutted to suit the landscape of needing to not bemonstered by the press or deemed too expensive by voters I would be very interested      can’t see that happening tho  (also worth reminding ourselves of all the brexiters who said things like “I don’t care how much it costs   I don’t care if I lose my job  it’s about taking back control!” And yet now we find them complaining about increasing costs. As they always will complain about everything  because it’s always someone else’s fault)
