The Mobile Recycling Centre will be parked up outside Sainsbury's Dog Kennel Hill between 10am and 1pm on Wed 2 March.


The Mobile Recycling Centre is a service, funded by the London Waste and Recycling Board (LWARB), to make it easier for residents to recycle materials that cannot be collected as part of a normal household recycling collection and accepts the following items, FREE OF CHARGE:


Textiles and shoes

Small electrical appliances

Wood and timber

Metal

Bulky cardboard

CDs/DVDs

Printer cartridges

Batteries

Lightbulbs of any kind


These items are then brought to Southwark's Integrated Waste Management Facility before being sent onto reprocessors for recycling.


The Mobile Recycling Centre also dispenses biodegradable garden waste sacks, clear recycling sacks and sells subsidised compost bins and soil conditioner.


The Mobile Recycling Centre DOES NOT accept household recycling or general waste.

I suspect that Veolia don't have the resources or inclination to recycle working goods as such. Anything put through their (and to be fair, ANY) recycling centre will be broken up for reusable metals/plastics.


As as been mentioned here before I believe, the British Heart Foundation will accept working electrical goods (and will collect them). Here's a link... https://www.bhf.org.uk/shop/donating-goods/what-to-donate

7th December, according to the 'new' version of the council's site.


The current version of the site seems to have lost the relevant page, or perhaps its because 'mobile recycling' means two different things, which makes searching for either a pain in the backside.


Happily for early adopters, the exhortation to remove plastic windows from envelopes seems to have been dropped from the new version of the site. But, reassuringly, Tetra-paks are still recyclable on both.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
