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.

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
