Our normal blue bin recycling was due Christmas Day. I checked out the Southwark website for the alternate date and it says next collection due 8 Jan - we are busting to the rafters with recycling and normal rubbish and food. I sort of imagined they might come tomorrow (Fri 27th) instead. Anyone in the know?


Thanks.

Well sainsburys cardboard recycle centre is full but I had a glimmer of false hope when I saw the recycling truck come down my street this morning, I took out all my boxes but actually they just emptied the block of flats recycling directly opposite me and then drove away!! Now I am perplexed. Am going to give the council a ring on Monday and see when it is scheduled for.

totally wrong that people should wait


I am hoping this comment was ironic - There are in fact 3 bank holidays over the Christmas period - many households are now getting their collections on the same days as normal, most have only a 1 or 2 day slippage at most. And everything 'corrects' by the New Year. In previous years we have had up to 3 weeks of disrupted collection days.


The bin men have rights too, including, I would suggest, the right to Christmas day off. They are hardly an emergency (if always a valuable and indeed vital) service.


If you are over-flowing there are many deposit points around the borough, especially for recyclables.


At least a hold-up in Blue Bin collection (mine is also full, and my collections are unchanged) is neither noxious nor a health hazard.

If they didn't come yesterday (sat) you need to fill in the form on southwark website re missed collection & they will come collect within the next couple of days. I've done this before myself a few times in the past. You shouldn't have to wait till the next collection day if they've not been.

They came Fri for the blue and food bin stuff - a huge relief but I find the whole fortnightly collection stressful at the best of times. Our normal bin is full to busting and due for collection on Weds so Fri again and I have two bags in the kitchen waiting to go in it as soon as it is emptied. We are a family of 5 and our neighbours, a family of 3 kindly let us put stuff in their bins from time to time. I am happy for bin men to have holidays. I just think there should be more bin men and collections for everything weekly or the option to pay more council tax for weekly collections or a discount for fortnightly. I hate David Cameron and I love that he said he would re-instate weekly collections and has done sod all about it - tosser.

      Up the reform

      By diable rouge · Posted

      As with Brexit, everyone who votes for Reform isn't a racist, but I'm confident in saying that the vast majority of racists will vote for Reform, like they did with Brexit. So, anyone who considers themselves as non-racist but is considering or will vote for Reform, needs to ask themselves why is that the case? Why do you never hear Reform promoting equality/anti-racism? Instead, Farage is now copying Trump with anti-DEI (Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion) rhetoric. It can't be any clearer where Reform stands when it comes to such issues...

      Cox's Walk new bridge damaged!

      By Sue · Posted

      It was lucky nobody was on the bridge beneath the tree when it fell. It's hard to see, but it doesn't look like a whole tree, but a branch? Or else it's a relatively thin trunk? What seems to be the point where the branch (?) joined the tree - or else the point where the whole tree broke off - (on the bottom left of the picture) looks like quite a clean break. It couldn't have been deliberate, could it? Or has someone trimmed it after it fell? It's hard to see how this could have happened accidentally. It has been a bit windy, but surely not enough to cause this. Shouldn't there have been a risk assessment when the bridge was built, to include assessing the risk of nearby trees falling?
