Hello!

Brand new in East Dulwich, and that means we have loads of cardboard to dispose of from various deliveries (weird moving in without going to the shops much!) and from moving.

I don't have a car and bulky waste pickup is booked for weeks, so I tried to carry it down to East Dulwich Grove local recycling point (listed on Southwark's website), which a guy cleaning around the estates there helpfully informed me doesn't exist!!

I then tried to book a permit for the recycling centre, but I was told on the phone that there's no walk-ins at the moment due to Covid-19.

Does anybody know where I can take it? There's some mocking signs on bus stops on Lordship Lane telling me there's lots of new local recycling points but my experience so far is that they are disappearing!

Thanks, and if there's any tips (Whatsapp groups, other resources) for a new resident on Landcroft Rd I'd really appreciate hearing about it!

Generally the bin collectors will take neatly stacked, flattened and DRY card that?s next to the blue bins when they?re collected. We had 5 or 6 big boxes next to our bin this week that went without problem.


I also think there were some big recycling points at the flats at the corner of Wood Vale and Forrest Hill Rd, not sure if they?re still there.

If you have boxes that you have flattened, but which can still be used, and packing materials to move on you'll find a willing flow for passing on boxes & packing materials in the For Sale section - I usually put mine on to be collected for free and they are snapped up very quickly. Lots of peiople moving!

As it seems free cycles open


Advertise free moving boxes I had lady enquire I only had 3 left.

Don't remember her name on here

But put in for sale as free moving boxes be gone fast saves going to tip.


I did and bubble wrap to recycled by other people moving where I moved to.

I put on here or free cycle if still open.

People said Southwark one is open this time round.

    • Sorry to hear that Rockets, that's a scummy thing to have dome to you. Sue - that cannot have been a pleasant experience for the thief opening that parcel. Perhaps they'll think twice before nicking other peoples parcels.The police are non existent and don't seem to care, London is becoming lawless. They keep on pushing up council tax or at least the Mayor does on his bit, saying its for the Police, but things don't get better. London is probably currently stab and shooting capital in the world. Its terrible.  I try to do everything I can to avoid all parcel deliveries, preferring to collect myself. Unfortunately some "businesses" especially this year are doing more and more by parcel delivery with no click and collect available.  
    • Unfortunately they tend to follow the delivery drivers around so it's easy pickings for them. We had one taken and he had to have been tipped off where the parcel would be as it was in a very odd position but the thief knew exactly where to take it from and then brazenly opened the box put the contents in his rucksack and threw the box on the pavement before riding off on his bike. 
    • Used nappies were in at least one, I believe. Dogs may also have been involved.
