Mobile Recycling Centre @ Sainsbury's Dog Kennel Hill

[Veolia Southwark]

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.

Do you take portable televisions?

I have a couple, they still work.

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

We certainly do, yes.

[Mustard]

Thanks, both.

When is the next recycling day at Sainsbury's?

[singalto]

I'm pretty sure it's the 7th December. I find the unit really useful.

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.

Veolia have been aiming for the first Wednesday in each month for their Dog Kennel Hill Sainsbury's car park collection - from about 10.00. This is a grace and favour offer of car park space from Sainsbury's.
