I have checked on Southwark's website, and it's said that the subscriptions for 20/21 closed in February. That must be last February as it includes 2020, but I can't see how to subscribe for this year. Am I missing an important link or process for this? Any input would be great, then it might save me trying to get through to them!

The subscription year runs from April to end of March. That webpage continues


?Subscriptions for 2021/2022 will open in February, and we'll notify households eligible for this service by delivering a leaflet. For existing subscribers we'll send an email reminder, if you've provided us with an email address.?


They?re probably running a little behind, all things considered. Suggest you just sit tight for the time being.

No the message meant that they were not taking new subscriptions from February 2021 as all subscriptions run from 1st of April to 31st March. They do not take part of year payment so if you'd applied in February you'd only get 2 months before having to pay again.

They are begining to send out emails to existing subscribers to renew & soon new subscribers will be able to apply online for the April-March 2021/2022 year.

And you can order a set of Garden Waste bags to tide you through the period before you can subscribe for next year. We only have a small terrace so use this service all year and it works pretty seamlessly.

Yes, when I enquired about the price the guys there said I'd be much better off buying compost elsewhere :))


Which when I heard the price I completely agreed with (grammar).

Got a leaflet through the door from Southwark this week and renewed online for ?40. Bin days are one of the highlights of the week at the moment - like Grayson Perry says in the new Radio Times, ? bin days are great, if you time it right you can have some social interaction? !
  • 2 weeks later...

Still waiting for my Garden Waste Bin Sticker.


Have paid my Subscription ?40.00 as of 4th March 2021

I got a Payment Authentication Receipt email.


Got through to Southwark Council last week and was told it can take up to 10 Days

so I have waited until today .. 13 days


Got back through to Southwark Council.


Guy took all the details but could not confirm if my sticker had been

sent out and told me to give it more time.


Asked to speak to a Manager. Not available as guy was talking to was working from home.


Anybody else having problems...?


Foxy

No sticker yet - but also not having issues getting the bin taken - so perhaps there is a grace period where if you have last year's sticker on they know that the new ones are being sent out?


Is your only problem not having the sticker, or is your brown bin not being collected?

Although I have not yet received my sticker (requested on-line as soon as they went live with emails and a letter drop) I have received a replacement brown bin as also ordered (my current one was split and is held together only with tape following an over-enthusiastic bin lorry mechanism incident).


So I think we should be receiving stickers in due course. Also my card account has been charged.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
