Southwark recycling centre (tip) - Devon street

[ed_pete]

It looks like Southwark have dropped the pre-booking process for going to the Devon Street recycling centre. It seems that now you only have to pre-book if you have a van.

Anyone been recently that can confirm this ?

Yes. Went two days ago. No booking needed.

Nope, but great news. I was wondering if it would ever revert back to pre-pandemic mode !

Also went on Thurs, no booking but you do need photo identity, eg driving licence plus recent proof of address eg council tax bill

Wasn't booking a good thing simply just to manage the number of vehicles there at any one time?

In my experience, pre-covid, unless you turned up when it opened there were never that many cars there that you had to wait any length of time, including weekends.

Went today and just drove straight into a slot. They just wanted to look at a proof of address.

Open daily from 8:30 but 8:30 to 9:30 is supposed to be van's only but the guy said that they wouldn't turn you away.
