Can confirm this one is still there, I used it on Friday. It's about halfway between the Sydenham Hill/Kirkdale roundabout and the Woodhouse, on the left hand side if you're heading towards Crystal Palace.

Thanks Nigello for telling us about the new recycling bin for small electrical items in Dulwich Village. I looked at it yesterday & thought I should let others know that it's either full, or items which are too large have been forced into it. Either way, it's blocked at the moment. The bin has no facility for lightbulbs or batteries.

I passed it the other day and there is also a clothes recycling bin.

It?s outside number is 36. Hope this helps people find it.

Not clear what happens to the 'electrical items'

If they just slide down a shute I presume that get broken up for the precious metals etc in the circuit boards, a lot of the remainder will get ditched and into landfill . If the item works take it to a charity shop or give it away on here or free cycle etc.

I don't know about these, but the Southwark (Devon St. I think) dump site claims that they have taken 0% to landfill over a longish time period. They have an electrical item recycling part to their dump. So possibly the same.

There's a list of stuff they recycle there some of which they also repair. I'm slowly accumulating old computers but one is always instructed to take all personal stuff off them. Anyone know how this is done?

Nigello, the bin has been repeatedly vandalised, broken into and the contents strewn across the pavement. The door is now broken and the bin has to be taken for repairs. We are hoping that when it returns it can move to another site still in Dulwich but one that doesn't impact on the heritage location of the historic 17th century burial ground. Local councillors are involved and have given us a list of criteria (attached) so if anyone can think of any suitable locations please let us know. We definitely need the bin, it is used more than any other electrical recycling bin in Southwark.

    • No, signs of sense and scrutiny of "leaders" not knowing the impact of what they have done, so much so that every citizen in the UK will suffer financially as a result of an incompetent, incoherent, unhinged Govt that's impact is effecting every citizen in the UK. Where things were being turned around by the last lot, this lot has already compromised all that work in its first 120 days in power. You may not like it but that's the truth.  We are never going to agree and actually Reeves, Rayner and Starmer need to go, like yesterday. 
    • Worse than gb news   Signs of unhinged minds 
    • This is why you are not the chancellor! Rachel Reeves won't be going anywhere until either she fixes things or Starmer needs someone to blame!
    • I fully agree. I hope you had some khinkali (Georgian dumplings), they're fantastic! They used to have only meat ones but now they also have mushroom ones and they're great. I always try to fit in a honey cake at dessert. Overall I appreciate that their food and menu seems to only improve with time.
