Allotment waste disposal


Sue

Recommended Posts

Our allotment site has an assortment of rubbish to dispose of.


Southwark recycling centre won't take it because it isn't household waste.


We don't want to hire a skip because of the cost.


Does anybody know of a reliable (wo)man and van who would take it to some other appropriate council site? I'm assuming this needs a licence?


We obviously don't want it just dumped somewhere illegally.


Thanks.

Googling Southwark Allotment Waste points to Devon Street Depot.


If you cant put in your Brown Bin ?? How would they know where it had come from? Your garden ?


If you bag it up and take it to Devon Street and have proof of your address, I cannot see the problem

It is rubbish from the whole of our allotment site, not just my plot. There is a lot of it (hence the reference to a skip in my original post).


It is not brown bin waste. It is rubbish. Brown bin waste would almost all be composted by individual plotholders on site, unless it was diseased.


Our secretary has made enquiries, being honest about the situation as we all agreed she should be, and Devon Street will not take it.

    • Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
    • Sorry Sue - me again. This has been on my mind all day, it's a big bug bear of mine. If you don't mind - please can you private message me some of these shops so I can cross reference / add to my AVOID list.  Thanks in advance. Let's make sure this doesn't happen this Christmas, particularly as we head into sales season. Even more problematic in my experience.
    • Pity you didn't quote what you are referring to, Mal. I didn't see the previous post, and my mind is boggling 😮
    • The Cherry Tree was absolutely excellent for a while when a youngish couple ran it and brought in a really good chef. It was them who renamed it The Cherry Tree. They were really turning it around. The chef did fantastic Scotch eggs, and one of the best roasts I've ever had. If memory serves the then owner,  for some reason known only to himself, took a dislike to them and what they were doing and sacked them all. And yes we weren't expecting a top class  meal last Christmas, and we left it too late to book anywhere else, but we weren't expecting it for a hundred pounds EACH to be quite as terrible as it was. Stupid us. Not sure why you are confused by my post, Jazzer? Did I misremember? Now it's got even more confusing because my posts have been merged and your confused emoji is shown at the bottom of the second one instead of the first 🤣
