Strange goings on in East Dulwich Road this morning - our new, clearly marked commercial Veolia recycling bin was missing in action this morning (we run Hop Burns & Black) and on checking CCTV, it seems that a non-Veolia lorry not only emptied the contents but the two binmen then threw THE ENTIRE BIN in the back of the van.


Pic attached (apols for poor quality) - we don't recognise the logo so wondered if anyone else might so I can contact them, give them a mouthful and get them to bring it back or reimburse the hefty fee Veolia will inevitably charge us to replace it.

Thanks all - we have reported to the police and a forum poster kindly DMed a name of a company that does commercial collections along ED Road that they thought might be the culprits, Fiveways, but this doesn't come up in any Google searches.


Have been speaking with Veolia today but they're not the easiest company to deal with, apart from advising me that a) it wasn't their lorry and b) a replacement bin will cost ?150. Nice work if you can get it, I guess.

Look very similar to your mystery binmen.


Hires out vehicles so police should be able to find out details of who hired it.

Amazing - thank you. Turns out it IS a Fiveways vehicle, however the company says they hire out loads of lorries to local providers (either Southwark council or private waste services) so can't tell me who without a registration number. I will now pass all of this on to the police and Veolia - and encourage Fiveways to be a little more cooperative...

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls.
