Morning all.

We have some old and battered saucepans and woks etc, not good enough for second hand/charity shop use. Just wondered if anyone knows how we can get these recycled; front of house green bins/recycle bank/council collection?

Also while I'm at it, what's the deal with all the Christmas trees left out in the street. I presume these get collected?

Ta.


James.

If they are metal, surely they can go in the blue bin regardless of size?


If you phone the main council switchboard they will put you through to the right department, but if it was me I'd just put them in the blue bin :)

Do you know if this kind of place also deals in relatively small amounts of gold and silver, or if not where would be a place to take it which will give me a fair price?


It's basically old and broken jewellery.

All I did was google Scrap metal SE London. Googling scrap (melt) silver prices gets me:-

where you can also input gold weights. Remember that you will need to know what carat (purity) your gold and silver are.

Thanks. I've got absolutely no idea. It's stuff that's been kicking about for years.


I assumed they must have some way of telling!

Silver and gold are very often marked - you need to research the marks. UK silver and gold will always be marked. Most continental gold (and silver often) will have some type of marking, such as 18, 14, 9 which will tell you something about them. Jewellers will also know. A touchstone will tell then quickly whether the item is gold or not, for instance.

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • 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.
