There’s one outside North Dulwich station

It's not for recycling but for good quality clothes. And sadly always overflowing onto the pavement. Appreciate your response.

You can take it to the hospice charity shop in a bag clearly marked "rags".

Ace, I didn't know that. Thank you.

Also one in the carpark of the plough pub, which you will have to verify your car reg to avoid a fine 

Great, will check that out.

Thanks for that. I did look on there but it wasn't terribly clear.

All Primarks have a textile recycling bin in the store. They take all textiles in whatever condition.

Fab, I will check that out, thank you

The one at the Plough is not for rags officially but the stuff that people leave is variable.

Thanks but assume would just go to landfill then if not good condition.

There is one opposite the petrol station/Tesco near the crossroads at Peckham Rye. 

I will take a look, thanks

The one at The Plough is operated by a cult.

If there's something iffy with the organisation, how come The Plough has it in its car park?

Are they being paid shedloads of money to have the bin there?

Let's hope Planet Aid's current workers aren't forced to make "voluntary" contributions to the cult, then.

"Patrick Goteka was working for a charity in Zimbabwe when, in 2006, his employer offered him a big break - the chance to transfer to the US.

Goteka, who would be working as a manager in the recycled clothes business, knew the move would mean sacrifices - separating him from his wife and three children. But he says he didn't bank on also having to join a cult-like organisation - the Teachers Group - and surrender a chunk of his monthly salary when he took on his new role."

    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.  
    • Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!   
    • Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
