I put surplus in bags with a note attached saying "recycling" and it's always been taken.


I just replaced my two blue boxes with a small blue wheelie bin thinking it would hold more - but it doesn't. I emptied the contents of the two full boxes into the bin, and now the bin is already full :(

I had a small blue box which I put bottles and cans in...


And a blue bag for paper which I kept indoors to stop it getting wet..


The Bin men threw bag in the back of the truck and when I confronted them they said I could

not use it any more. I even used to remove labels from tins, which was a waste of time as

all the bottles cans and paper go in the truck together.


They also advised that they would no longer accept the blue boxes..


I now have a 140 ltr Blue Bin.. The smallest one they do.


It will take me 2-3 months to ever fill the thing up.

Fox, that's rubbish, they do still accept the blue boxes, they have told you wrong. Not the bags though.


And the smallest size blue bin appears to hold the same as two blue boxes.


Personally I would rather have boxes instead of the small green bin I have, which is hardly used as virtually everything I bin is recycled stuff :(

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
