We have been trying to get brown bags from library for the best part of 6 weeks, we have a brown bin but knew from experience that our once a year full garden maintenance produces much more. The gardeners solved it by bringing several large bags (used for sand etc) and did several trips to the tip.
apbremer, yes, you will still be able to use the brown biodegradable bags. None of the stockists that previously had the brown bags have received any deliveries from Southwark Council for about the last month. You can buy 20 for ?15 from Southwark Council www.southwark.gov.uk. You will need to book a collection, via the website, each time you wish to leave a bag or bags out for collection. There is no mention of an additional charge for this collection. There is a separate thread about this already: Brown bin collection - Council starting to charge? new Goto Page: 1 ... 6, 7, 8

But at the moment this information is not on Southwark?s website & you cannot order bags.

I found this information here.


https://www.southwark.gov.uk/bins-and-recycling/garden-waste-collection-subscriptions?chapter=2


At the moment, if you leave the brown bags next to the bin, they put the bags either in your bin, or another bin with more space.


Yes, I can't see that you can order the bags on the Southwark website yet. I was replying to the original post by apbremer.

I live in SE24. Today is bin day. I put out the green bin and the brown bin. The brown bin was full and I placed a brown biodegradable bag that was also full, next to it. The brown bin is now empty and the bag has gone. After June 1st, if you subscribe for a brown bin, you will need to place the brown bag in the brown bin or, you will need to book a collection, via the website, each time you wish to leave a bag or bags out for collection. Why would you pay for brown bags to put in your brown bin, that you have already paid for, through the subscription?

From faqs:


What if I want to sign up but don?t have space for a brown wheeled bin?


If your property does not have space for a garden waste bin, but you do still have a garden and wish to dispose of your waste, you will be able to purchase a pack of 20 garden waste bags for ?15 from www.southwark.gov.uk. These are not a direct alternative to having the garden waste wheeled bin - you will need to book a collection, via the website, each time you wish to leave a bag or bags out for collection.

I think we will all have to wait and see how this works as we all garden in different ways. Im more of a blitz garden so do loads on a weekend and then nothing - in this case I could fill the bin and buy the bags and book a collection to get rid of it. OR I pile it up and get rid of one bin load each week. OR I don't subscribe and take it to the dump myself. Or i change the way i garden and do just a bin load a week. Im still debating !

Yes i ordered both the small caddy and the bigger lockable one for outside. From memory, i had to order each one separately as it wouldn't let me tick both, but i maybe i missed something on the online form

    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.   
    • The problem with delivery people nowadays is that they are on such a restrictive schedule that they literally have to just try to deliver and run, otherwise they are penalised. I understand the frustration though.   And good luck making any kind of complaint to Evri. I once sold a laptop on ebay, took it to the Evri pick-up, where it was processed and it then went 'missing' between their pick-up place and the hub. Went through a long, long process where they offered me a desultory amount in compensation and I had to take them to small claims court before they came up with a fair offer the day before we were due to be in court. Long story short, Evri are shite.   Go to look at this forum for the number of people who have issues: https://nationalconsumerservice.co.uk/forum/183-postal-and-delivery-services/
    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.
