I got on the blower to the complaints section first thing this morning. The lady said she would send message to the relevant department. Less than 2 hours later my bin was collected. Either my phone call produced results or it was just coincidence. Either way I'm happy to see the bin empty. Now back to the garden to fill it again. Those bushes won't prune themselves!

I've only just seen this thread but have experienced similar problems. My brown bin wasn't collected for 3 weeks (Bellenden Road). Every time I logged a missed bin collection it was marked as complete while the bin wasn't collected. I emailed the waste team on multiple occasions. I received two responses, one saying that i hadn't paid my subscription (so I replied with my receipt) and one suggesting that my bin may have been contaminated with non-garden waste. I replied to both of these and didn't receive a reply, in addition to other emails I sent. I finally emailed [email protected] and the next morning someone was out taking photos of my bin (i.e. inside the top showing that it was purely garden cuttings and another of the sticker on the outside). The bin was collected shortly after. Still no response to the complaint email. 

Garden and food waste used to be collected together but I think they are separate now. They empty the food waste into red wheelie bins and then put them into a small lorry that doesn't look like a typical bin lorry.

    • Hi .. I’ve still got the  bike lock 😀
    • I think the only way to sort this is to ban loud fireworks for private sale (and preferably ban fireworks altogether except for public displays). I don't know whether that has implications I'm not aware of eg I have no idea how many people are involved in firework manufacture.
    • Very happy to recommend Tommy Rooney's excellent work again. He's been servicing my boiler for years now, but this time he swiftly fixed a leaky radiator valve. I put out a call on Friday and it was repaired - and improved - by Monday evening. I asked him if he had an opinion about my other radiators, and he reassured me as he pointed out the leaky bathroom rad was a non-standard length, which was why it caused problems. There followed a brief but detailed history of improvements in regulations for valves and fittings over the years, so that I could understand precisely what the issue was. How many plumbers will do that for you? "I've just got a memory for weird things," says Tommy modestly.
    • Wanted 2 x Adult and 1 x Children tickets for Dulwich fireworks tonight please!
