As far as I know, no. At the best if you signed up now you might, once you've got the sticker, be able to get collections before the start of April 2024, assuming you weren't already subscribing, as the sticker shows only an end date, I believe. It's a tad misleading, if you ask me, as it is of no benefit to sign up early if you are already signed up for the current year.

Where is this assertion from, as they do currently (and have for some time - years?) collect the food & garden waste together. On collection day they open the big brown bins up and tip the contents of the small brown bins in, before tipping the whole lot in the back of the truck...

The assertion is from here:

https://www.southwark.gov.uk/bins-and-recycling/garden-waste-collection-subscriptions?chapter=4

Why is the council asking me to put out food and garden waste separately?

We are expecting the law will change in the near future, and it will become a legal requirement to collect and treat food waste and garden waste separately. We're starting to separate our services for these materials now, so they are ready for the change.

Just asked the council to take back my brown bin, wondering if there will be a noticeable decline in them on ED streets this year. Or will it take until the price goes into three figures before many more have a rethink?

I’m now sharing my garden bin with my neighbour and so yes, hopefully it means less ugly bins on the street
 

Brace yourselves for the future price of food waste bins!

I think that food waste, like general waste, had to be collected for free but don't quote me on that post the election 🤔

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
