There is also a textile bin in Peckham Rye Park.


As it happens, I need to get rid of some old pillows as well and was going to take them to one of these. Every time I take textiles to Sainsbury's though it is overflowing though, and it doesn't feel right to just leave stuff in bags on the ground. I think it was a similar situation in the park last time I went as well. Anyone know when they get cleared so I can actually get it in there? Or is the MIND one a better bet?

Hmm. From the Southwark A-Z of waste:


"Duvets, pillows or bed sheets

Bed linen in good condition can be taken to the numerous textile banks throughout the borough. " https://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/10070/recycling/1365/a_to_z_of_waste_and_recycling/5


Not sure what counts as good condition, but I'm guessing they don't mean something that has been in use for a year or more so the green bin is probably right @intexas

Find a tower block.

Get a razor blade.

Climb to top.

Slit pillow out of window / over balcony.

Watch your feather-cloud dissipate over the streets below - a fitting sky burial for the poor bird that donated the feathers possibly years before.


Note: not same with foam-filled pillows.

    • Loki hasn’t been seen since Sunday. He’s all grey but if you look closely he has faint stripes on the top of his tail. No pedigree, just very much loved. About 4 years old. No collar, but chipped.  please keep an eye out for him. We live on Barry Road SE22
    • I went in here the other day. The fruit is all really good - ripe and fresh. They also sell good bread (and croissants and pastries) from a independent bakery, the name of which I've forgotten. 🤦 The prices (which are marked) are not cheap but they are fair imo. Comparable to the specialist fruit shop on Lordship Lane (Brothers?) for really good quality. It's similar prices to Simply Fresh - but Simply Fresh's fruit and veg is very poor. Beaten about and tasteless. Sainsbury's is certainly cheaper. IMVHO they're a good addition to the Dulwich Village "retail offer".
    • Went actually for the first time yesterday. Terrific food, so was well pleased. Agree with previous poster to support.
    • Hi!! Moving house soon so looking for some cardboard boxes. Anyone know of any shops or cafes that may be giving some away?
