The system here in Southwark, though far from perfect is much better than what my mum has to endure in Harrow.


Normal domestic waste collection is bi-weekly.

Her tiny front garden is dominated by 3 recycling/dustbins.

The recycling bin isn't big enough so the refuse collectors drop part of it, littering the street.

There's been an increase in people flytipping their rubbish on street corners and an increase in vermin.

Does anyone have a contact re tetra-pak recyling? Can't we contact tetra-pak themselves(though we know it's pointless) Anyway, whilst our recycling is devided, more or less, having asked one of the council refuse team blokes he said it all goes in the truck and is sorted there, so why bother sorting it ourselves if the recycle truck itself doesn't differentiate?

I put the glass in a plastic carrier bag, and leave the tins/plastic loose in the box. The refuse collectors empty the carrier bag and the box, and leave the carrier bag inside the box for next time.


I too fail to see how anyone could stop a passer-by from dumping their rubbish in my bin, or tell which bits are mine and which has been dumped, especially when the bin is out on the street on collection day!

    • The refurb has made it brighter and smarter with greater emphasis on weights and other exercise. Seems that cardio is restricted to the quarter of the floor area as you enter. This seems fair enough as I rarely saw more than half the cardio equipment being used at any one time. I have been told that some cardio will be on the newly created gallery space overlooking the main gym floor. Free weights area looks bigger and there is a good range of resistance machines offering to exercise most muscle groups. There are some new types such as a squat machine, whereas core machines for abs and back seem to have disappeared. I have been told that some machines have yet to arrive. Overall, it’s a great improvement.  To say it’s still a dump is unfair and untrue.  The alternative would be to traipse over to Beckenham where David Lloyd will charge you the same for two months’s membership as you would pay for a year at DLC.
