apod Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Hello, We recently moved to East Dulwich Grove and it seems as our Garden Waste is not being collected. We paid the annual fee for the garden waste collections, the new label still has not arrived, however they tend to be always late. In our previous place in ED waste was collected every week.Is there anyone here who lives on EDG and can comment on the garden waste collections? Council says it is meant to be picked up every Tuesday, but it seems as it is not. I would ask neighbours, but cannot see any brown bins at the front of their properties. Thanks :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/282681-garden-waste-collection-edg/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
DulwichFox Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I paid the ?40.00 back in early March. Still no Sticker Have been through to Southwark Council 4 times. They confirmed by email they had received my payment and I should get my Bin Sticker by 21st April. That is tomorrow. Don't know if it's down to Royal Mail or Southwark Council DulwichFox Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/282681-garden-waste-collection-edg/#findComment-1506105 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaa Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I paid 40 quid early March and still no sticker. Post (Royal Mail) arrive daily, so I blame Southwark Council, very very unhappy with them, Labour is not getting my vote this May.

northernmonkey Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 We are on a Tues collection and our brown bin is collected weekly. Do you leave it at the entrance to the property so it can be easily collected. On EDG you might need to put it on the pavement? Re the bin stickers - ours arrived last week, but obviously the post situation isn't great at the moment, i'd expect that there would be some leeway on the existing permits to allow for this. Foxy - assuming your bin was collected this week?

James Barber Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I would suggest two avenues:1. Complain to your Councillor who will forward an email to officers and chase as necessary2. Make a formal complaint to the council -https://www.southwark.gov.uk/council-and-democracy/complaints-comments-and-compliments/making-a-complaint Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/282681-garden-waste-collection-edg/#findComment-1506248 Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartblock Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 You will slowly realise that although EDG is a lovely mixed community of wonderful people, who go out of their way to be neighbourly, the local council doesn?t really care about this rd, so pavements, road surface, noise, pollution and cleanliness isn?t a priority. You should have moved onto Melbourne or Townley, Court, Derwent or Calton....all rds that are looked after by the Council. One end is Village Ward the other Goose Green..so both sets of Councillors point the blame to the other set (privately of course). I love this road and the people, I have the best neighbours. Join the EDG group...together we are stronger.

apod Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 We haven't received our sticker just yet, but I am glad that my garden waste was finally collected :)It seems as they collect it in the afternoons on East Dulwich Grove, where all other waste very early mornings. We must have pulled the bin back too early over the last weeks.
