Hi - in clearing out the shed recently I found a stash of the old brown paper bags we used to use in Southwark for leaves and garden clippings. Does anyone know if they will still be collected if I use them? Can't find anything on the Southwark web site - they might be too old to be queried anymore!


Many thanks for any info

Even people in flats have need for them when a complete overhaul is needed of balcony pots and plant troughs. I was told at a recent meeting that you can phone and ask for a nag to be delivered to your door! But now I know that they're available in libraries that's useful. They can then be left for collection with recycling.

I don't know whether all libraries have them, but Dulwich Library does (the main one near The Plough).


Also, they no longer restrict the number of brown bags they will give you at a time.


They do sometimes run out, though.

When I went to Nunhead library I was told they get them on Thursdays. Assuming it?s the same day for all libraries.


They also said they go fast!!

James, council libraries don't ration brown garden bags, and haven't done for some time.

    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.  
    • Sorry if I’m being slow but there’s no point in having a gate then is there?  Would have thought it was basic manners to respect someone’s property 
    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open.
