My recycling hasn't been picked up for nearly a month now - anyone else having problems? Mine and my neighbour's blue boxes have been outside our flats on Melbourne Grove for nearly two weeks now...

I've emailed and phoned Southwark Council to complain and raised the issue with Cllr Rosie Shimell who has given me various assurances that it will be sorted out, but the problem remains and to be fair to Ms Shimell, she sounds a bit narked at the situation too.


It used to be picked up every Wednesday, then for a couple of weeks it mysteriously changed to Tuesdays now it's not being picked up at all.


Just annoying as i like to do my bit for planet Earth etc.

      Post boxes and accuracy of "next collection day" plate

      By Sue · Posted

      That explanation sounds highly unlikely!  Surely the "days of the week" plates must be a standard size. I know Royal Mail often appears incompetent, but it  couldn't be that stupid, surely. Was it 1 April?!

      Shredded paper recycling

      By Sue · Posted

      Southwark's recycling guidance says to put shredded paper in the blue bin in a paper envelope or "small box". I've got far too much of it for that  (confidential stuff going back decades) - thanks to the EDF member who kindly gave me a shredder! It would be a "massive box". I have barely started  the shredding, and I've already got an extremely large bagful.   I've read online that you can put it into  large clear plastic bags in the bin for paper,  provided you  clearly label it "shredded paper" and it is obvious what it is. Does anybody know if Southwark would accept it like that? Alternatively, can anyone make use of it for animal bedding or packaging material or adding to  compost?
