Southwark - will they allow you order a bin for a neighbour?


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know if you can order a bin for a neighbouring house?


A few doors from my in-laws the tenants are overfilling their bin (to the point they can't close it), and on Sunday as I passed a man opened the front door and chucked his takeaway on the ground to join loads of other rubbish. It's a typical crowded ED terraced street, obviously rubbish and open bins are going to attract vermin - and surprise, surprise we've seen one and had to put traps down yesterday (obviously mice are going to be an ongoing problem if there are idiots who can't clean up after themselves).


I've looked on the Southwark website, and wondering if I can order as though it's for my own property (cloak and dagger approach)? Just don't want to explain the situation to Southwark and find they will only provide the bin to the property if the tenant/ owner requests it, in which case no-one can really do anything to fix it quickly... That's presuming there isn't the 8 week wait on bins there was at one point!

No they won't let you order one for a neighbour, technically, as I was told when I tried to do it a couple of years ago. When half way through the call I told them I'd mistakenly given them my own name incorrectly and I was actually my neighbour though they laughed and said OK and a bin was duly delivered. A very nice lady.


If you don't get her I guess you can just call back with a different voice on!

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
