I'm moving home and have a broken printer and digibox that I don't want to just heave onto a tip. Is there anywhere locally where you can responsibly get rid of unwanted or broken electrical items? Or batteries come to think of it. Or paint?


Advice would be appreciated,


Cheers,


Tina

Southwark Council recycling tip off the Walworth Road has place for batteries and paint and I think electrical items.


Can't remember the road name but it's on the left as you go towards the Elephant, just past East Street (on the right) I think.


You could phone their environmental services section 020 7525 2000.

You can recycle electrical items at the HWRC off the Walworth Road (Manor Road), which Sue mentions. There is a really useful website http://www.recyclenow.com/ which has a search facility for recycling all sorts of things and shows the closest sites to your postcode.

You can apparently recycle batteries at any library - Dulwich and Grove Vale both definitely have this facility.


I know you're not specifically asking but printer cartridges can be recycled in the shop located in the church right near the top end of Barry Road, near the corner opposite Dulwich Library and The Plough, just behind the florist (sorry, I can't remember the name.

    • I was talking to my brother in the law last weekend who works for a different water company. He said he and his colleagues watch TW’s woes with a mixed of horror, disbelief and then relief that they work for a different water company. Worth a watch. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m00284vt
    • But Thatcher is dead. Nobody since has brought the utilities back under public ownership (if that's the right term). So there are many people who could be blamed. Meanwhile the shareholders get richer and everyone else gets increasing bills and a poorer service. Plus as said above, a massive waste of a limited resource like water. Not to mention the polluted rivers and seas. At least the privatisation of the railways is being reversed. Hopefully water may be on the list somewhere.
    • That's really helpful. Do the Community Councils still exist? It sounds to me that whoever the contact is on the council who has sorted out the North Cross Road notice board and put the new list of councillors in it must at least have access to the key for that one? Unless it was one of the unlocked ones. And of course if somebody knows where the keys are, they may have no idea that people are looking for them or that this forum thread exists. Which are the notice boards which are not locked?  The very helpful locksmith near the station (?Callows?)  might be able to provide keys for them, or if not, new locks, in return for some local publicity? In fact, they may be able to advise in general, rather than keep trying unresponsive people at the council. But then of course there is still the question of who is going to take responsibility for putting appropriate East Dulwich community information into them and updating it as necessary.
    • Our residents' association used to have keys many moons ago, but when locks were changed, we tried everyone (including ward councillors) to get keys to no avail. A couple of boards are not locked. The Community Councils originally paid for all the notice boards in Dulwich. May have come under the Cleaner Greener budget.
