westerveld Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Anybody know why blue recycling bins have not been emptied for the best part 4 weeks along Darrell Road and surrounding areas? Saw a few nearby streets get collected this week but practically overflowing down here.

IlonaM Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 You can report a missed collection/missed collections online at: https://www.southwark.gov.uk/bins-and-recycling/report-a-missed-collection Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/226923-recycling-collection-not-happened-3-weeks-and-counting/#findComment-1340613 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheArtfulDogger Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Similar here, reported it as suggested above two weeks ago and got the standard "we will resolve it in two working days" ... Then nothing Lol maybe it's art of a plot by Southwark to make us pay for all recycling 🤐 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/226923-recycling-collection-not-happened-3-weeks-and-counting/#findComment-1340621 Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlonaM Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 'Lol maybe it's art of a plot by Southwark to make us pay for all recycling 🤐'Don't give them any ideas!!!!I have never had a problem with them coming round after a reported missed collection, but maybe I've been lucky so far on the couple of occasions I've had to chase them up.Local councillor intervention???

Zig-Zag Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 It's the same in West Dulwich although they finally came and emptied them today. Thought it was just my street which had been missed but clearly a more widespread problem.

Spartacus Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 James Tomorrow is blue bin day for some of those who were missed two weeks ago If tomorrow they aren't collected (again) then your offer makes sense Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/226923-recycling-collection-not-happened-3-weeks-and-counting/#findComment-1340944 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin68 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 They have been changing some of the routes and the teams on existing routes, so I suspect cock-up rather than conspiracy. New crews are still learning their routes and roads.

Mscrawthew Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Ours were collected but every single bin was dumped on the pavement after. This is the first time so the crew must of changed. Are they supposed to put them back in the garden?

TheArtfulDogger Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Looks like a systematic failure in recycling collections at the moment, brown bin emptied early this morning but so far no sign of blue bin being emptied for anyone in my street Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/226923-recycling-collection-not-happened-3-weeks-and-counting/#findComment-1341374 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callie Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 we had our blue bin emptied about an hour ago but not the green, hopefully they will tomorrow as reported Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/226923-recycling-collection-not-happened-3-weeks-and-counting/#findComment-1341411 Share on other sites More sharing options...
VelvetBlueberry Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 They came around this evening & whilst ours were collected, they were still missing a couple of houses.Has anybody managed to get through to the council & find out exactly what's going on lately? Bizarre. :S Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/226923-recycling-collection-not-happened-3-weeks-and-counting/#findComment-1341422 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigello Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I downsized from a blue bin to a box and it was not emptied for three weeks, despite three phone calls to complain. The woman on the line the third time said lots of people were calling in with complaints.

Penguin68 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 The blue bin crew on my run this morning were all new (to this route) and only one person on the brown bin lorry was part of the regular crew on my run. Crews and routes are clearly being changed (and Southwark said as much in their circular) although my collection dates haven't changed, just the people doing the collection.Hopefully this will all settle down soon and proper collections will resume, but, with the new system starting next week (but most of the necessary impedimenta - new bins and stickers - not yet having been issued) don't hold your breath. My brown bin man says take-up of paid for garden collections has been low across the borough, but of course many residents are not blessed with gardens in the north. He didn't know what the take-up was specifically in the Dulwichs. My fear is that we will see a lot more dumping and hijacking of legitimate large brown bins by those choosing not to pay.

Zig-Zag Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 ....and watch the anticipated big price rise next year for the audacity of having a brown garden RECYCLING bin, enabling the Council to compost on a large scale and then sell it back to us.

VelvetBlueberry Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 It looks like dustbins have replaced suitcases & are becoming the latest trend; I can't tell you how many people I saw dragging them down the street today.
