Hello


We're due to move house in the next couple of weeks and need to make multiple trips to the Southwark Recycling Centre to clear out our rubbish.


At the moment, we're allowed one car load with each permit but I have just discovered this morning that we're not allowed to book another permit for another 14 days after we've visited - meaning I can't book another permit following yesterdays visit for another 14 days. We've been clearing stuff since we went under offer 10 days before the lockdown but haven't been able to dispose of it during the lockdown while it's been closed. At this rate, unless the restrictions are lifted on the 4th July with the rest of the lockdown easing, we're going to run out of time to get what we need disposed of (there are several more car loads).


What are our other options? Are there small skips we can hire to bin it all into and have it taken away? Or is there some other option that we've not thought of.


Many thanks in advance!

The guys at the plant do a cracking job, and if you do go you'll appreciate that social distancing has meant you're just given a couple of bins (garden waste/rubble, household waste) each, rather than meandering about trying to find the right bin. So don't spend hours as I do sorting recycling - it all just household waste now. That upsets me, but hey ho.

I did ask them about it and they sort it out after. It is just while we have social distancing

yes.


There is no need (and never has been) to get within 1 metre of any one else at the recycling centre and restrictions on non essential business operating as usual ended weeks ago.


It should be open in full, as should many other council services.


We are still paying full whack for services that are not being provided.

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
