Ours is scheduled for Wednesdays, but Thursday last time. Every year we produce more recycling, and the delivery of packages in cardboard is a huge part of it now. I hate it. Yet there are no local collection points left. When we moved here in 2006 there were big bins all over. They have gone, and it is just blue bins now. Old Kent Road Recycling is still Book in Advance from COVID days. I'd love to have something more like the poubelle concept favoured in mainland Europe. We make different amounts of rubbish each week as households. Why do we need huge bins (3 wheelies here) that might be empty one week, and overflowing the next? I'm getting red in the face and have LBC on speed dial.

Had ours missed yesterday, second time in just over a month...I submitted a missed collection form and it was emptied today, not sure if it was just ours or the whole road. Last time it was def just ours.


The guys dong the collections are a really nice bunch of people in my experience and it's not the end of the world, can't imagine how exhausted they all must be at the end of every shift, it's just a bit annoying the council isn't maybe investing enough into the service for it to be running properly.

blue bin missed on Wednesday 6th April, just logged the mis collection on the councils website and it asks, did we miss the blue bin collection on Thursday 7th April??? Telephoned environment who assured me my normal recycling blue bin collection is wednesdays each week and has not been changed. I have logged the mis appointment on their website. The last time I reported such an incident with the food waste, the council ridiculously emailed back to say the crews could not find the food caddy - strange as the food caddy is sits in the same place each week. I do not rate trhe service at all- - Copleston road

    • 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.
    • A silly title, Truss set such a high bar I doubt whether anyone can ever match her level of incompetence and level of delusion. Paul Johnson spoke on inheritance tax on one of the political programmes.  Any inheritance tax is controversial, and he considered farmers should not be an expectation I was underwhelmed and incredibly disappointed that there was no increase in fuel duty; Labour chickened out and I will be telling Rachel's sister this view. Paul Johnson has written a good article on his analysis and that the budget was not at all revolutionary https://ifs.org.uk/articles/budget-was-non-event-and-kicked-big-decisions-down-road If you want something to worry about look over the Pond Reality check - pound crashed against the dollar and other major currencies following Brexit vote - 1.70 to 1.20, and has never recovered Truss's mini budget sent it to almost an all time low 1.08, from around 1.20 the week before Reeves budget it lost a cent, and fared worse since Trump won the election.
