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.

    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open. 
    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
