Just posted up on the Southwark website:


We are working closely with our partner, Veolia to minimise the impact of Covid-19 on household waste and recycling collections. Currently, our collection services are operating with some delays, and you may see your waste collected on a later day than normal. Please bear with us, we are prioritising the collection of household waste, and will reach you as quickly as possible if your collection is delayed.



The Household Waste Recycling & Reuse Centre is closed until further notice. This is because any travel to the Centre by residents would be unlawful, following the introduction of recent travel restrictions which require residents to stay at home to prevent the spread of coronavirus. We will update this webpage when this changes.

I've just asked James McAsh to ensure bins aren't left in the street after they are emptied as this will stop people leaving their houses to move them back in


A small thing but important after last nights announcement

I agree as the refuse men are already risking germs as it is. The least we can do is bring our own bins in.

Agreed, mine was collected a few hours later than normal but on the correct day - also Underhill/Melford. Bins both left on edge of roadside, which I'm also fine with. The lack of traffic must help them a bit with rounds I would have thought.

I think that these guys are handling hundreds of bins on their route so it's almost certain some will have the virus passed onto it by the house holder and consequently passed down the chain by the bin man. You should avoid touching the surface of the bins and that's why it is better for the bins to be returned to original position. No one is going to leave their bin on pavement for a few days, whereas they are more likely not to fill bins for a few days (allowing enough time for virus to clear which I understand may up to few days). Either way always wash hands immediately after handling bins.

    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.   
    • Totally agree with you.  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
    • It took the Tories 14 years to dig that 20bn blackhole. It's taken Labour 14 months to double it.  You cant get rid of Reeves though because the next person will actually be totally incompetent. There are no MPs in Labour capable of performing better than the current shower.
