trinidad Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Hello all,For those whom are lucky enough to have a garden in ED, now is the time we are using these spaces more and more. Gardens often generate waste which can not simply go into the brown recycling wheelie bin. What do residents do when they are faced with un - recyclable garden waste?

Sue Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 What sort of waste are you talking about?Surely anything which isn't recyclable would go to landfill in the green bin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sally Eva Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 soil doesn't really wear out. Where has it come from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trinidad Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 several years old, extremely dry, more like grit than freshly purchase soil from the garden centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trinidad Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 Thanks, but i am really uninterested in reviving the soil. As mentioned in the first question, i want to get rid of it, amoungst other things. I was wondering what other gardeners do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gadge Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 If it's a small amount, bag it and put it in your green bin which goes to landfill. If a larger amount bag it and take to the Southwark recycle centre located on the Old Kent Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Palaeologus Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Is there a ban on soil in green bins? If not, put it in your green bin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpsaucey Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Same issue. Would bulk collection take it? They have a category of ?sack of household waste? but bit unclear. HP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green bin waste in Southwark is sorted into recyclates or material used for fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
