Brown bags and garden waste

[camberwell57]

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

I've seen people leave them out on my street and they've been collected so I think you're OK.

Yes, we still use them.

We had a garden clearout last week and all the paper sacks were taken.

They are still in use. You can get them from the library (and other places).

Not everybody has space for a large brown bin!

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!!

I get mine at Peckham library. You have to go right up to the desk in the library and ask for them.

You can also get them in the lobby of Francis peek building in dulwich park

Hi hpsaucey,

That is clearly ridiculous.

One of my Lib Dem colleagues Councillor Anood Al-Samerai has agreed ot ask why are council libraries rationing brown garden waste bags and when will they be able to order sufficient for all the demand.

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