There used to be one next to the Mind shop at the Goose Green roundabout - not sure if it’s still there… Can’t think of one nearer other than remember vague talk about there being ones in the car park on Peckham Rye? St Chrisopher’s charity shop on Lordship Lane also take bags for ragging. Hope you find one!

the two clothing banks beside the mini-supermarket at the junction of Upland Road and Hindmans Road have disappeared.

 

 

I'm not surprised.


I once saw two women pulling stuff out of them and just leaving it on the pavement (presumably after taking what they wanted).


I take clothes which aren't good enough for a charity shop to sell to the hospice shop in a bag clearly marked "rags".


They recycle them somewhere, can't remember where.

Is there a reason you can't donate to a charity shop? We have 3 or 4 on Lordship Lane.


Alternatively Traid (they have a branch in Peckham) will come and collect from you.


If the clothing is too tatty to sell on many charity shops will accept it sorted into separate bags as "rags" which they get paid for (as Sue said earlier in the thread).


The recycling centre on Old Kent Road also accepts fabric recycling, goes without saying.

The quality of stuff in charity shops is generally quite high and the quality of anything I'm throwing away is generally quite low, so I had assumed charity shops wouldn't want it. Perhaps I should sort it again.


The BHP shop on the Old Kent Road took away more than a dozen bags of clothing when my husband died but that was relatively good stuff.

I looked up Tvind on Wikipaedia, thanks for the reference.

    • We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?
    • Best you post when you have an idea of dates  - waste  of everyone’s time
    • Hi there,  Looking for 10-12 jars (to start with) of local honey to fill a small section of a deli space in my work canteen. Please get in touch if you know of any community projects/small scale productions Cheers
    • Yeah, it did work out in the end, but it was way more stressful and expensive than it needed to be. He lost money. He had higher offers early on, but those buyers pulled out because of all the delays. On top of that, he spent a fortune on legal fees trying to get the neighbour to sign off on the freehold transfer. It dragged on for ages. In the end, he was lucky the final buyer stuck with it, but the price was lower, and the whole thing left a bad taste. A lesson learned. Share of freehold can be a real nightmare if the other owners aren’t cooperative. You’ve got to be 100 per cent sure everyone’s reasonable, otherwise it’s just not worth the hassle.
