Mellors Posted December 4, 2007 Author Share Posted December 4, 2007 I live in fear of getting another stroppy letter telling me I haven't divided the box, but didn't even get one of those today! I hasten to add I have been asking for another one for ages.I swear its easier just to take it myself to Peckham Rye Park. Tsk.

Mark Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 my blue bin's empty today, but the brown bin's still full (even after reporting through the website 2 weeks ago and 2 emails to Southwark). Anyone want a bin full of leaves and twigs? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2106-recycling-collected-today/#findComment-60616 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mellors Posted December 4, 2007 Author Share Posted December 4, 2007 You could try trying to get hold of a compost bin from them instead (I think they are ?10 and wormeries ?5), but it seemed easier trying to get blood out of a stone when I did, so went to B&Q instead. I think if you leave leaves and that to fester over the winter in a black plastic bag they will make compost themselves by spring? I'll have your compost if you don't want it!

lilolil Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 mine is still full AND after I complained last week about them leaving a sticker on one of the bags because I had left two bottles with tops on.........They were supposed to collect on Friday, but didnt come then either. SO the foxes are going to have lots of toys (AKA rubbish) to play with !!!Someone remind me why I pay council tax.

Cassius Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Mine should have been collected yesterday and wasn't. It's a shame because I really thought they'd got their act in gear after months of complaints.Guess I'll be on the phone at lunchtime to see what's happening. If I get a sensible answer I'll post in on the board.

Ant Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Ours should have been taken yesterday but wasn't. And I think it was late the week before too.

david_carnell Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Mine wasn't collected yesterday, as it should be. I'm on Oakhurst Grove if that helps.Maybe it'll go today whilst I'm at work. It was some newspapers as well which'll now be soaked through.

Ladygooner Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 If you have a car you may want to take it to Sainsburys - they have a new recycling centre in the car park. This may also help people who are getting told off by the council for not using the divider in their boxes!

Cassius Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Just rung the council and complained - they've made a note of it and given me a reference and said it should be collected by the 10th - great just in time for next weeks collection. Lets hope that I am in the same boat as heber jumble queen!

Ladygooner Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I could be mistaken but I thought they had clothes and shoes boxes at Sainburys? There is a clothes box at the side of the Mind shop on Goose Green if notAl&Em Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> Anyone know where the clothes boxes have gone from> sainsburys? took some shirts at the weekend and> had to bring them home...

Damo Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Our collection day is Tuesday but they collected today instead. I'm okay that they were a day late but they've taken our paper recycling bag and green waste bag away AGAIN!!!(6)Its so wasteful that we, and I guess many others, have to re-order these items time after time.BORING Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/2106-recycling-collected-today/#findComment-60875 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Administrator Posted December 6, 2007 Administrator Share Posted December 6, 2007 Horray, my brown bin of green waste has been collected this morning after 8 weeks of fermenting in the front garden.
