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

    • it isn't said on any news source that I look at. Are you asking on social media whether what you read on other social media is true?
    • Thank you. Yes we scanned him last time, he is neutered & chipped. We asked neighbours who were feeding him to keep him in as, owner said she wasn't back till following day. That night whilst he was kept in, Gladys came back. The owner lives on a street who's garden  backs onto my friends garden. We asked neighbour that kept him in for night, to not feed him anymore. The owner said not long after she got him, he went out January, never went back till December! I did say so you don't want the cat, she said yes she does but she can't lock him in. I suggested she leaflet all houses who's back gardens back onto hers, to say to stop feeding him. She didn't do it. So until people stop feeding him, he will be a problem as he obviously doesn't want to go home and all the time she never saw him, there was no posters up looking for him, so it's one of those situations! He is a beautiful fluffy black and white and is enormous. Don't know what the solution would be if owner not bothered. Celia hammond overflowing, even kitten season was early this year. Can't take a owned cat though I'm sure he isn't happy. I'm hoping Gladys and Doris will go back home if he isn't loitering. Yes their owner does spray him with water but has little impact. It is a real problem and a worry that they are too frightened to go home and may travel further away. That is the real worry. Will keep post updated. 
    • Hi, I’m looking for a small garden table and 2 chairs used but in good condition, ideally one you’d like to get rid of 😊 Chairs need to be sturdy so that she can sit on these safely!  Thanks in advance for her!
