wee quinnie Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 What's the current amount of brown bags you are allowed to put out for collection? I realise change is imminent, so thought I would get a load of gardening done before the changeover. I have looked on the council website and cannot find this information.Thanks peeps.

Rosetta Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Never heard of any restriction before. Just lined them up at front of house on pavement.

wee quinnie Posted May 26, 2019 Author Share Posted May 26, 2019 Initially they were unlimited, but I have a memory of the rules changing, and a limit being set.

Rosetta Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 I thought the limit was from June. Ask your neighbours if you can put them in their frontages.

herne hilly Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 if you have brown bags, i would say fill them up, they are not giving any more free ones out. Are the bags we have to pay for going to be the same, i have a feeling they may be not as big as the paper ones Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/227030-garden-collections-pre-june/#findComment-1340886 Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Barber Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 If you've ordered a brown wheelie bin it will be 60 days, just been told, before they arrive and the new system is fully in place. So much of the summer will have occurred! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/227030-garden-collections-pre-june/#findComment-1341862 Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlonaM Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 If we have paid a subscription James, when can we expect to receive our stickers? Is that likely to be 60 days as well?And will brown bin collections continue past 1st June as they are whilst the system gets up and running?

hpsaucey Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Hi James - does the same go for the paper bag collections? When I looked online I couldn't see any more info about them (yet). Did they tell you what residents are meant to do during these 60 days?HP Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/227030-garden-collections-pre-june/#findComment-1341883 Share on other sites More sharing options...

first mate Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Pretty outrageous. I have been using bags but signed up for a brown bin and stickers. So, does this mean that I will get a supply of free brown bags and these will be collected in the usual way until such time as the bin and sticker appears?How can the council charge and take payment for a system that is not yet up and runnng?

muffins78 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Are the stickers not been sent out then? I was watching for them in the post. Will the council still collect or give us additional bags while we wait? Our brown bins get filled every week.

evilmanic Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 If this is accurate, file a chargeback with your credit card provider, they're failing to deliver a service you've paid for, your card issuer will refund you and they'll have to pay a fee.Re-subscribe when it's working - I sincerely doubt they're competent enough (or allowed) to decline service.

singalto Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 The council is useless. They introduce new charges before putting the infrastructure into place. They want to charge for parking in the parks from the 1st April but, thank goodness, haven?t installed the required equipment. They get us to pay for garden waste collection but don?t have the bins or stickers we need. What a shambles!
