Mine was emptied (unless I had forgotten to put anything in it!)

However my old food bin, which I had to replace because the bin men flung it over my wall and broke off the lid, which then blew away somewhere in the wind, is also  still there.

Every time I try to get rid of it by putting it in the green bin, it is never emptied from the green bin.

I'm not sure if this is because it gets stuck (it only just fits in the green bin) but short of taking it to the tip myself I can't see how else to dispose of it.

Btw there is an Ulverscroft Road WhatsApp group where you might get more response than on here re whether other people's food bins were emptied.

If you aren't already on it, message me and I can add you.

Thanks for the replies.  
I did think just about tipping it all in the large green bin but it’s putting me off 🤢

Next week I’ll just put outside on pavement, surely it can’t be missed then. 
 

@Suethanks I am aware of the Ulverscroft Rd WhatsApp group, I’m not on it, but I think I just prefer chatting to neighbours/friends whilst out and about.  But thank you for the offer! 😊

I just thought that as your query was specific to the road, more people who live in the road might see it on a group specific to the road than on here, as the road group  has over a hundred members, but no problem!

    • I noticed more butterflies than ever this year - lots of red admirals and white ones. Couldn't understand why, then found this. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jul/18/big-butterfly-count-uk-numbers-recovery
    • Had a Red Admiral in front driveway today. Hadn't seen one for some time
    • It’s a flat fee levy payable by guests staying in hotel and hostel rooms, so added to the bill.  This already happens in Manchester and Liverpool ( I think in Liverpool it’s a percentage, so the more expensive rooms pay more). I read somewhere that Edinburgh is doing this next year? Charges of this kind are becoming common around the world. I think it absolutely makes sense for Southwark and other boroughs are bound to follow.
    • In  parts of Europe you just get charged tax at the end of your stay somewhere. Usually a couple of quid added to your bill. Most tourists are pretty happy to stump up the cost, as it's an expected expense.  I  think it's a good way to make money and remove the burden from locals.  It's for foreigners, Sue - I'm sure Londoners and brits will still be able to freely cross the borough lines without having to go through checkpoint charlie 🙂
