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.

    • In fact there was a promotional leaflet came through the letter box today, for sending by RM's parcel post by buying online.  There are also options mentioned for having the labels printed  at a Collect+ store or at a Parcel Locker.  More info at https://www.royalmail.com/.
    • Is it? Let's see  Farming is a tough gig with increasingly lower returns, if farms have to sell off land to pay inheritance tax it will reduce their ability to survive. Which in real terms could mean more farm land lost and more reliance on imported food which sees money flowing out, not in to the country.  But I guess as long as you get cheap food that doesn't concern you 😉  Lol "what about the cars"  again Mal... like a broken record....  Governments know that squeezing car drivers for more fuel duty will drive down income from taxes as people switch to electric, which would leave them with a black hole in income. Guess the fuel duty is a fine balancing act tiĺl enough electric cars have been sold to raise tax revenue from their use. 
    • Hello - if anyone is in need of sofa/rug/carpet cleaning, we have recently had a very good experience with husband and wife team Kate and Vlad. They're a very reasonable cost and the result was great (don't look too closely at the colour of the water that comes out!) Kate's number is 07731 140246
    • You can buy your parcel postage (tracked or any other) online from Royal Mail, they will come to your address with the label and pick up your parcel, (no extra charge) alternatively, you can print your label at home and apply to your parcel for them to pick up from you also. The other option is to drop off your labelled parcel to the Royal Mail Delivery Office of your choice.
