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.

    • There are no road works in front of Cod fellas and yesterday when I requested a stop there the driver went straight past and never stopped untill Avondale Riss. As cars have to stop because of the lights why can busses not do this? 1 minute Bloodly mindedness.
    • These are the smokeless fuels you can burn on a open fireplace in Southwark: https://smokecontrol.defra.gov.uk/fuels-php/england/ https://www.southwark.gov.uk/planning-environment-and-building-control/environment/air-quality/reduce-air-pollution/reduce-smoke
    • Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm    
    • If you mean the one outside the church going towards Peckham, it still had the closed sign on it this morning, but as there are no road works there, I'm sure some of the drivers will stop there on request.  The stop outside the chippy coming from Peckham is closed as there are road works in front of it.  The 4 way traffic lights are in operation.., causing a lot of congestion.
