Hi there,


I live in Ferris Road, and have noticed that we don't seem to have all of the recycling bags/bins that we should have, and I am not sure whether we put our stuff in the correct places! Before I contact the council I wanted to check if anyone knows what we should have, I have been on the website, but I can't seem to find anything concise and understandable!


Currently we have a large green wheely bin (which we put general non recyclable waste in) and then we have a blue plastic box and another one (which I think may be a dark green) we use these and put anything recyclable in. There seems to be some sign of writing on these boxes, which may have stated at some point what each is for!


Also, we are planning to have a big garden clear out so wondered what we are meant to do with garden waste?!


I don't want to be labelled an uncaring ED resident!



Thanks for your help,


Abi

Hi Abi,


I live on Ferris Road too.


You should have a grey and green wheelie bin and a blue recycling box with a divider.


The grey bin is for general waste, the green is for garden waste. Think you need green binbags too.


The blue is for recycling. One side should be used for paper and card. The other for glass, tins and plastic.


Cheers,


P.

    • I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
