Is anyone else having a problem with the dustman not taking recycling bins and recycling?


when i have flagged this with Southwark environmental services i have got , "yes we will deal with it in 3 days " but nothing no action at all ! , i have sent 6 emails and called them , it has now been passed to the complaints team which must have only 2 members in the team as the calls dont go through .


I just dont know whom to contact now , any suggestions ?

I've only ever had to report non-collection of one/other type of bin three times in about 10 years. But, every time the promise was "within the next few days", and every time it actually got collected the NEXT time it would have been collected anyway (i.e. in a fortnight's time by the current schedule for regular waste or recycling). Never managed to get them to actually correct a missed collection before the next scheduled time, nor to explain why it wasn't taken.
I've always used the online forms to order new bins, bulky waste collection and missed collections and found the service very good. I know there has been major budget cuts across many departments including job cuts/unfilled vacant posts so perhaps we are feeling the results of this. There are more cuts to come so can't see it getting any better.

    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
