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.

    • I have sympathy with any voter, anyone, who having witnessed the last 14 years and then Labour in the last year and wonders just how can things be this bad  unless a) they voted for brexit b) voted Tory after 2010 c) is thinking of voting reform  because anyone who thinks reform won’t make things a thousand times worse after voting for the previous?  It is they who are the problem.  They are the reason the country is in the doldrums with an embarrassingly-timid Labour government 
    • In what way? Maybe it just felt more intelligent and considered coming directly after Question Time, which was a barely watchable bun fight.
    • Yes, all this. Totally Sephiroth. The electorate wants to see transformation overnight. That's not possible. But what is possible is leading with the right comms strategy, which isn't cutting through. As I've said before, messaging matters more now than policy, that's the only way to bring the electorate with you. And I worry that that's how Reform's going to get into power.  And the media LOVES Reform. 
    • “There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda ” I would call this “generous”   Labour should never have made that tax promise because, as with - duh - Brexit, it’s pretending the real world doesn’t exist now. I blame Labour in no small part for this delusion. But the electorate need to cop on as well.  They think they can have everything they want without responsibilities, costs or attachments. The media encourage this  Labour do need to raise taxes. The country needs it.  Now, exactly how it’s done remains to be seen. But if people are just going to go around going “la la laffer curve. Liars! String em up! Vote someone else” then they just aren’t serious people reckoning with the problem yes Labour are more than a year into their term, but after 14 years of what the Tories  did? Whoever takes over, has a major problem
