Have a look at this and ask WHY? is waste recycling not state of the art world class top drawer BEST in a country where our scientists know best/ do best/ invent best/ understand best. Why is it hit and miss and let's invent our own system? The man in charge of recycling in Southwark isn't an expert. He's not even that interested in the subject. It's an assignment and he's winging it as he goes and what we see on the street is just a series of hit and miss. Has anyone studied and compared the best of the world. And then gone to the next level? No. And it probably wouldn't be any more expensive than... oh let's try this now, oophs... what about this

Same here

I contacted them

On the 28th

Great idea Penguin68 and thank you for spotting this and telling everyone. Just use different colour lids.

consider this a formal request from me to the council and I'll let you know the answer.


If anyone has other great ideas OR has collection missed and after contacting the council hasn't had the missed collection collected that day - please tell me. Best via email as more or less whatever I'm doing I can read emails.

If I'm honest, I'm not too bothered about the new recycling system - I quite like that the smelly food is now separated from the rubbish (it makes taking the bins out a little less daunting). But what I don't understand is why the council haven't given our building more than 2 blue boxes to share (between 4 flats). I emailed them today to request one of the unsightly blue wheelie bins - I wonder if I'll get a response!

Our food & garden waste was also left in the medium brown bin/caddy although they did empty the large blue bin.


I thought I'd got the days wrong but have just checked and today was a brown and blue day.


I await a response from Southwark.

I'm not bringing mine back in again, it stinks of orange peel which has gone mouldy :-S


I doubt foxes could get in if the bin is properly closed.

And if we mess up and put the wrong stuff in the wrong bin we could face hefty fines...


I suspect Southwark Council will be out with their cameras and clip boards , waiting for people to


transfer their food waste to their green bin for the thursday collection.

Has anybody else apart from me reported this to the council?


Because when I phoned them just now they said they'd report mine as a "miscollection" and it would be collected within 48 hours :))


When I said it wasn't just mine which hadn't been collected, they more or less said they would only know if people reported it. Then they said maybe it was just my road which had been accidentally missed out.


I'm on Ulverscroft Road. Is anybody else whose brown bin hasn't been emptied on a different road to that?

We've had no problems with the latest collections but on the few occasions in the past when our bin has got missed (hiding behind the hedge!), I have rung the main number 020 7525 2000 to report a miscollection. When dealing with Southwark I always send a confirmation email ([email protected]) to confirm my telephone call, and restating the details, and that has has always brought results. If you don't report the problem they won't know. We all make mistakes sometimes - it's not fair to expect Southwark staff/contractors to be better then ourselves.

If there is a problem with the website (as tomsav found), I'm sure they would find it very helpful if you send an email to report the issue.

    • 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 uo north. They also happened to b e leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about hisolitics. Corbynmania was thing but it was also the making of his downfall.
    • 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
