jenf Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Strange goings on in East Dulwich Road this morning - our new, clearly marked commercial Veolia recycling bin was missing in action this morning (we run Hop Burns & Black) and on checking CCTV, it seems that a non-Veolia lorry not only emptied the contents but the two binmen then threw THE ENTIRE BIN in the back of the van. Pic attached (apols for poor quality) - we don't recognise the logo so wondered if anyone else might so I can contact them, give them a mouthful and get them to bring it back or reimburse the hefty fee Veolia will inevitably charge us to replace it.

jenf Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 (For the benefit of those without zoom function, and also in acknowledgement of what a rubbish photo it is - excuse the pun - the pic seems to show a white van with a green and/or reddish star and text.)

IlonaM Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Would Veolia or the Mayor's Office/London Waste and Recycling Board (https://www.london.gov.uk/what-we-do/environment/waste-and-recycling/london-waste-and-recycling-board) be able to identify the logo?

James Barber Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Is it worth asking shops along there if they have CTV pointing out and whether you take a look. Also bins being stolen is theft and should be reported to the Police. They'll potentially have access to there cameras.

bsand Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Could easily be about identify theft. Throwing the bins in only takes a moment and back at base they can sift through the contents looking for bills, bank account numbers and the like.

ianr Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Ask Veolia. Was it their team, maybe using a hired truck? If so, why the bin removal? https://www.veolia.co.uk/southwark/contact-us or http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/profile.php?6,30641 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/183753-binmen-mystery-recognise-this-van/#findComment-1223655 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenf Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 Thanks all - we have reported to the police and a forum poster kindly DMed a name of a company that does commercial collections along ED Road that they thought might be the culprits, Fiveways, but this doesn't come up in any Google searches. Have been speaking with Veolia today but they're not the easiest company to deal with, apart from advising me that a) it wasn't their lorry and b) a replacement bin will cost ?150. Nice work if you can get it, I guess.

IlonaM Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Try http://fivewayshire.co.uk/fiveways/fiveways_home.htmlSilver vehicles with red star - pictures of various trucks here: http://fivewayshire.co.uk/fiveways/fiveways_vehicles.htmlLook very similar to your mystery binmen.Hires out vehicles so police should be able to find out details of who hired it.

jenf Posted February 26, 2018 Author Share Posted February 26, 2018 Amazing - thank you. Turns out it IS a Fiveways vehicle, however the company says they hire out loads of lorries to local providers (either Southwark council or private waste services) so can't tell me who without a registration number. I will now pass all of this on to the police and Veolia - and encourage Fiveways to be a little more cooperative...

IlonaM Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Glad I could be of help! Hopefully the mystery will be resolved soon and you'll get your bin back.

JohnL Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I saw this (or another) Fiveways vehicle picking up rubbish in Rye Lane this morning.
