Not really sure of the point of your post EDCAM. Some of the local authorities are opening their tips with appropriate safeguards. 'safe' is a relative term. Please don't post unless you have something useful to say. All my posts are of course extremely valuable, and I have been presented with many community awards. I am the peoples' poet.


It reopens on 14 May.https://www.southwark.gov.uk/bins-and-recycling/recycling/recycling-centres/reuse-and-recycling-centre?


It should only be used if you can't store the item at home. A free permit will need to be applied for in advance. Full details on the website.

The Reuse and Recycling Centre is now open, to aid with social distancing,all residents need to obtain a permit from the Southwark Council website before they can visit. Please click on the link for more details :

Thank you

You need to download and print your permit and put that and a recent utility bill on your dashboard - you also need a photocard driving licence. As you drive towards the recycling centre there is an initial holding point before the roundabout where you stop and they check your number plate, look at your permit and utility bill through the windscreen and then they look at your driving licence through the (closed) car window. If you are early for your time slot you then wait there but I was within the time slot so was waved through. As you enter the facility they stop you again, check your number plate against their records and then radio ahead and wave you through. At the top of the ramp they stop you again to tell you which bay to go to. The bays are bigger than usual and each bay has easy access to the different categories of waste so you don't have to go near anyone.

What a load of nonsense. I?ve visited communist countries that were easier to get into.


The place is as big as an aircraft hangar. Get a grip Southwark.

Au Contraire keano77. Not nonsense at all.

It is well organised and sequenced, with plenty space between cars (about 4 at a time allowed in there I reckon).

They have doubled-up on the sections for dumping household waste, garden waste, etc. so that each visitor has a choice of two possible sections to use, to help achieve distancing between visitors.

Good for them for figuring a regime that keeps the dump open whilst supporting distancing.

    • As a result of the Horizon scandal it now seems very clear that the Post Office management are highly disingenuous and not be trusted!  There needs to be a campaign launched to challenge the threatened closure, unless the Post Office can demonstrate beyond doubt that the branch is loss making - and even then it could argued that better management could address this. I hope the local media take this up and our MP  and a few demonstrations outside wouldn’t do any harm. Bad publicity can be very effective!         
    • Unlikely. It would take a little more than a bit of Milton to alter the pH of eighty-odd thousand gallons of water.
    • It actually feels as though what I said is being analytically analysed word by word, almost letter by better. I really don't believe that I should have to explain myself to the level it seems someone wants me to. Clearly someones been watching way too much Big Brother. 
    • Sadly they don't do the full range of post office services
