'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???

I don't think they have to put them back in your garden, ours are not on my road & it says on the leaflets that you are supposed to leave your bin outside your garden for their collection too.

ours wasn't collected week before last, it was also full up to the top so I reported a missed collection online & they came & emptied it the next day.

Neither my blue or green bin have been emptied today, just had to report again (2nd time this month):(

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.

Some Bins on Grove Lane haven't been done for 2 weeks now either, and overflowing and onto the streets, I would like a reimbursement for my missed collection of my refuse. I love my council! great service for cheap price hey!

Is your collection assisted or not ?

Assisted means they enter the property to get the bin out and put it back in

If not then you get it out and pull it back In

Bins are collected from outside of the property and bin man is not a milkman who will know on your door and tell you good morning and ask where do you want it

      Herne Hill School and Dulwich Prep

      By Nikn · Posted

      Hi everyone, we are trying to finslise our decision for enrolling our son for 3+ from September and currently considering Dulwich Prep or Herne Hill. We like both and appreciate there is no right or wrong answer but what we like about HH is great focus on early years and also being coed. However if we can avoid the 7+ stress then prefer to do that. Dulwich Prep is closer but the difference is not significant. we know children are very active and busy in DP and they have great facilities, but unlike HH, we don’t know much about their focus on personal development and emotional intelligence, etc! Also not sure about long-term impact of being in boys only school. Difficult decision for us and we appreciate feedback from parents if you can share please.    thank you

      Thames Water - water meters

      By QueenMab · Posted

      Yeah that was their old policy. Their new policy is to force you to have a water meter and if you refuse they put you on a punitively high tariff which effectively forces you to have one. I was doing well with my policy of polite resistance which was to say yes fine I'll have one fitted but then not actually book an appointment or cancel the appointments they made. But then I was persuaded that it would be much cheaper anyway.
