MattNic87 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 One of our recent housemates left, taking their hedgetrimmer with them so this is a request to see if someone can do it for us for a few quid. We are on one of the roads branching off the bottom of Lordship Lane (no pun intended!). I won't put the exact address on this public bit but if you can help out obviously I will give the address. Although you might already be able to guess if you've gone past pur house and been appalled at the state of it!Someone asked last year if we wanted to pay him a tenner to do it so quite happy to offer this again?Please send me a private message if you are able/would like to help.

Mustard Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Hedges require constant cutting in spring and summer, so it's better to buy some hedge cutters as it works out much cheaper.

MattNic87 Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 As an update on this, I ended up finding a pair of shears to do it manually. The problem now is I have bags of hedge trimmings (and also old suitcases left outside by previous tennants) to get rid of to make the front of our house look a bit nicer.I don't know certain services of Dulwich very well. Is there a public rubbish tip or somewhere like thwt near by where i can take all my hedge trimmings and get rid of these suitcases?Ta Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/66099-anyone-want-to-trim-our-hedge-for-a-few-quid/#findComment-873685 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattNic87 Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 Thanks for your help - is that just for the suitcases though? Ca't imaging my hedge trimmings being classed as recycling.

B&G Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 You can take them there too. You can take anything to that place, they're great.

Put in Brown bin or recycle for compost at the recycling centre. You could take the suit cases to to the charity shop if they are serviceable.

Mustard Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Hisouthwark council take away 'rubbish' (things like fridges, freezers, carpets etc) for free, you can book a bulk collection online or over the phone. As someone else said, put the hedge clippings in the brown recycling bin, if you don't have one, ask Southwark for one, and in the meantime, ask a neighbour if you can use theirs.If you rent, then your landlord should provide you with the correct tools to do the garden.-------------------------------------------------------> As an update on this, I ended up finding a pair of> shears to do it manually.

Nigello Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 You could also get the paper recycling sacks from Dulwich Library and put your clippings in that. The council takes such stuff away every fortnight, I think. Also, bravo for keeping your hedge in shape; I wish more people were as reasonable as you.
