I've received two stickers, both identical, and in the same post delivery.


I have always been under the impression that you had to leave your bins with the handles facing the road ready for collection each week. And most of my neighbours do the same.

I think you can apply for up to 4 Licenses per address. Flats ??

Make sure you have not been billed for 2 Licenses


Check the Subscription Numbers on the Stickers.

I have always done this. It makes sense to aid the bin men. And 99% of the time they put my bin back into its rightful place.

I have ALWAYS done this. The selected bins for that week are placed just inside my gate with the Handles

pointed at the gate/street so the bin people can drag them out to the Dust cart.


What would be the point of having them pointing in any other direction apart from just being bloody minded. ?

No, just one!

Same here, do we continue to put food waste in with the garden waste until new bin arrives?

do we continue to put food waste in with the garden waste until new bin arrives?


Yes, according to the Veolia guy I talk to and (I think) the Southwark web site. They are legally obliged to collect food waste and (until they provide alternative bins) their policy is to combine food and garden waste in the same brown bin. Eventually (because the most effective disposal of food and garden waste is different) they will collect these separately, but, at the moment, I believe, even when we separate them in different bins they will be collected into the same lorries!

Over time the two waste collections will be separated, at least that's what the government wants. I don't think the Veolia contract now allows for that. So, no point, save as a revenue earner for Southwark now that it can charge for garden waste separately - even though the same government paper says that should be collected without additional charge.

After your post decided to look whilst walking down the length of my street, approx 50 houses, like you I am the only one with a sticker.


Even the "New Brown Bin" looks like it will only take 2 filled green waste bags..


Regret I paid ?25 should have ignored it like others seem to have done even though I have to have a large brown bin for garden waste and await the outcome.


How will Southwark solve this muddle?

I think they are going on the model that Lambeth have. They have a small food bin and then you buy these green sacks and pay the yearly subscription. The 2 green sacks = a 1 brown bin.

In my view the sacks are better as you can carry them through the house (if you dont have side entrance and store they away from the front garden so no one else can fill them.

Perhaps because a lot of us have not yet received sticker or large brown bin?

If you have never had a large brown bin ever why would you suddenly decide you now need one now?


The sticker is only for the LARGE brown garden waste bin/s


The only brown bin you are likely to get is a small brown bin caddy to take food waste which will just about hold 2 very small green interior bags.


If you have a large garden bin and no sticker it will be taken away.


If you live in a 3 flat conversion it would appear that you will need 3 small brown waste caddies in addition to the other bins for the flats. Possible 6 bins in total or more.


It does not make any sense. Not thought through at all

Because, on balance, paying for a large brown bin with a sticker seems to be more straight forward than buying brown bags and then arranging for their collection. I already have the outdoor food caddie and have been using that with brown bags for garden refuse. The outdoor caddies can hold about six of the green bags.


ETA When signing up on line there was an option to order a large brown bin and/or an outdoor food caddie.

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
