I've received two stickers, both identical, and in the same post delivery.


I have always been under the impression that you had to leave your bins with the handles facing the road ready for collection each week. And most of my neighbours do the same.

I think you can apply for up to 4 Licenses per address. Flats ??

Make sure you have not been billed for 2 Licenses


Check the Subscription Numbers on the Stickers.

I have always done this. It makes sense to aid the bin men. And 99% of the time they put my bin back into its rightful place.

I have ALWAYS done this. The selected bins for that week are placed just inside my gate with the Handles

pointed at the gate/street so the bin people can drag them out to the Dust cart.


What would be the point of having them pointing in any other direction apart from just being bloody minded. ?

Same here, do we continue to put food waste in with the garden waste until new bin arrives?

Yes, according to the Veolia guy I talk to and (I think) the Southwark web site. They are legally obliged to collect food waste and (until they provide alternative bins) their policy is to combine food and garden waste in the same brown bin. Eventually (because the most effective disposal of food and garden waste is different) they will collect these separately, but, at the moment, I believe, even when we separate them in different bins they will be collected into the same lorries!

Over time the two waste collections will be separated, at least that's what the government wants. I don't think the Veolia contract now allows for that. So, no point, save as a revenue earner for Southwark now that it can charge for garden waste separately - even though the same government paper says that should be collected without additional charge.

After your post decided to look whilst walking down the length of my street, approx 50 houses, like you I am the only one with a sticker.


Even the "New Brown Bin" looks like it will only take 2 filled green waste bags..


Regret I paid ?25 should have ignored it like others seem to have done even though I have to have a large brown bin for garden waste and await the outcome.


How will Southwark solve this muddle?

I think they are going on the model that Lambeth have. They have a small food bin and then you buy these green sacks and pay the yearly subscription. The 2 green sacks = a 1 brown bin.

In my view the sacks are better as you can carry them through the house (if you dont have side entrance and store they away from the front garden so no one else can fill them.

Perhaps because a lot of us have not yet received sticker or large brown bin?

If you have never had a large brown bin ever why would you suddenly decide you now need one now?


The sticker is only for the LARGE brown garden waste bin/s


The only brown bin you are likely to get is a small brown bin caddy to take food waste which will just about hold 2 very small green interior bags.


If you have a large garden bin and no sticker it will be taken away.


If you live in a 3 flat conversion it would appear that you will need 3 small brown waste caddies in addition to the other bins for the flats. Possible 6 bins in total or more.


It does not make any sense. Not thought through at all

Because, on balance, paying for a large brown bin with a sticker seems to be more straight forward than buying brown bags and then arranging for their collection. I already have the outdoor food caddie and have been using that with brown bags for garden refuse. The outdoor caddies can hold about six of the green bags.


ETA When signing up on line there was an option to order a large brown bin and/or an outdoor food caddie.

      Oh yes, it could have been about there, I can't remember exactly. At one point there seemed to be a load of pizza places opening on NCR. I vaguely remember the one we used to use was put out of business by another one which opened. Wasn't Grace and Favour's food offering more of a tea shop at the back of the actual shop? If memory serves the owner, whose name escapes me now, was one of the earliest people I know to move to Hastings. Which must now be crammed with South East Londoners 🤣

      The Mansion Tax

      By James Barber · Posted

      Hi Dogkennelhillbilly, You won't be aware that i proposed infill sites for housing in East Dulwich - the garages on Bassano Street and Henslowe that respectively became 1-4 Dill Terrace family houses and the 78, 80, 80A Henslowe Street family houses. These were council owned garages and it was frustrating how slow the council was to go from my idea to completion (roughly eight years). East Dulwich has some other vacant WW2 bomb sites I'm guessing that the private land owners have been sitting on.Owe for a land tax for vacant land.  WRT to the builders yard by East dulwich station. Southwark Council has an agreed policy the area should remain suburban 2/3 storeys maximum. But the approved scheme is 9 storeys of student accommodation. Very hard to put this genie back in the bottle. The council has recently publicly stated lower ratios of social housing will be required. I will be amazed if the developer doesn't submit another application now they have the 9 storeys approved but with significantly less social housing. The less social housing the higher the land values. The higher the land values the less social housing viability reports state are possible.  If we really want to increase home supply - Southwark have over 6,000 empty homes. Vancouver charges a low % of the value of empty homes and rapidly eased this problem. Parts of Wales have introduced under Article 4 planning permission is required for second homes seeing within 12 months a dramatic decrease in property prices. Southwark Council have Article 4 requirements - why not add this one? It takes National political will to solve this AND regional and local authorities such as the second home council tax premium and these being used promptly.
