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.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
