Hi edf

i send many parcels all the time & always use recycled boxes -

If people out there need wrapping paper & packing boxes disposed of

- that's in decent-ish condition (not destroyed by enthusiastic youngsters) & usable for post quality

depending on the amount offered by the Whole edf community! I take all!

There are still clothes banks at the Devon Street tip - sorry, Reuse and Recycling Centre - but they're always overflowing and I suspect full of junk. Will probably start giving clothes in nice/nearly new condition to charity, everything else in the bin...

I have a smaller blue wheelie bin that might suit your needs..

Call Southwark and they should deliver one for you.

Somewhere easy to park near Deptford Market?

Just to let you know, Sainsburys are looking to get new recycling points of there own in the next couple of months.


They have had trouble getting the council to keep on track with the collections and thought best that they were removed to possibly install their own.


Best thing would be to keep asking at the Customer Service desk on updates.

Unfortunately this is pretty useless for anyone who works the usual office hours

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


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

>Small electrical appliances

>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 single-use garden waste sacks, clear recycling sacks and sells 'Pro Grow' soil conditioner plus subsidised compost bins and wormeries.


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

Think a bit of perspective is needed here -


Rather than making snipey comments about the labour council, surely

this is another example of how cuts from the central government (started under the coalition IIRC) to local

authority budgets affect the services their able to offer?


Would much rather see the cuts affect recycling facilities (which are widely available via our blue bin collections & the Devons Rd depot) than to the already thinly stretched public health services (inc health visiting and school nurses).

Hi all, I put in an enquiry about this. It's basically been removed due to flytipping.

Dear Cllr. Hamvas,



The recycling site at Sainsbury's Dog Kennel Hill was removed owing to increasing levels of flytipping, much of it consisting of flytipped commercial waste.


This was not only causing problems for Sainsbury?s and their customers, but causing contamination of the recyclable material, with general waste being dumped indiscriminately in the recycling bins. Because the site operated on private land, the council?s powers to monitor using CCTV and take prosecution actions against flytippers were very limited and therefore they were unable to control the growing problem.


This meant the substantial cost of collecting and disposing of illegally tipped waste was carried by Southwark residents, with resources such as vehicles and staff being diverted to regularly clear the site. This has been a problem at a number of other sites, including the Peckham Rye Park site, which also closed recently.


All the recyclable materials previously collected at the Sainsbury's site are also collected from households across Southwark through the household recycling service. As such, residents wanting to recycle such materials can already use their normal collections to dispose of them and there is no charge for using this service. The closure of the site should therefore have no effect on the services residents can use to recycle household waste.


Residents with large amounts of cardboard to recycle and are not able to put it in their normal recycling bin can bring it to the Southwark Reuse and Recycling Centre (see http://www.southwark.gov.uk/bins-and-recycling/recycling/recycling-centres/reuse-and-recycling-centre) which is on Devon Street, just off Old Kent Road, or bring it to the Mobile Recycling Centre which visits Sainsbury's Dog Kennel hill on the first Wednesday of the month.


Kind regards,


Veolia Southwark, on behalf of Southwark Council.

Renata thanks for this, but what about textiles? You could recycle these at Sainsbury's. So far as I'm aware you can't don't this via normal bin collections in Southwark. I'm really struggling to find anywhere close by to recycle clothes that are too far gone for a charity shop. I have emailed the Environmental team (2 weeks ago) but not yet had a response. Could you ask?

Hi Sidhue and Sanity girl here are some textile banks in the area:

SE22 0PH Overhill Road, Dawson Heights

SE22 8BB Abbotswood Rd, near Sainsbury's, Dog Kennel Hill

SE22 8DT Grove Vale (outside Mind charity shop)

SE22 8JJ Lordship Lane, The Plough public house

SE22 8NS Lordship Lane, Jay Jalaram Stores

SE22 9EE Upland Road, Family Store

SE23 3RF Brenchley Gardens 161-191

SE24 9JY Half Moon Lane, Splash dry cleaners

SE5 8RW Butterfly Walk, Morrisons car park

SE15 2TF Hollydale Road, The Hollydale Tavern

SE15 3EA Athenlay Road, Your Local


I'm not sure if all of these are still present as this list was compiled in 2016. Hopefully you can find one in an easy to reach location. I've covered the area that I think most of the ED Forumites live in.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
