As far as I know, no. At the best if you signed up now you might, once you've got the sticker, be able to get collections before the start of April 2024, assuming you weren't already subscribing, as the sticker shows only an end date, I believe. It's a tad misleading, if you ask me, as it is of no benefit to sign up early if you are already signed up for the current year.

Where is this assertion from, as they do currently (and have for some time - years?) collect the food & garden waste together. On collection day they open the big brown bins up and tip the contents of the small brown bins in, before tipping the whole lot in the back of the truck...

The assertion is from here:

Why is the council asking me to put out food and garden waste separately?

We are expecting the law will change in the near future, and it will become a legal requirement to collect and treat food waste and garden waste separately. We're starting to separate our services for these materials now, so they are ready for the change.

Just asked the council to take back my brown bin, wondering if there will be a noticeable decline in them on ED streets this year. Or will it take until the price goes into three figures before many more have a rethink?

I’m now sharing my garden bin with my neighbour and so yes, hopefully it means less ugly bins on the street
 

Brace yourselves for the future price of food waste bins!

I think that food waste, like general waste, had to be collected for free but don't quote me on that post the election 🤔

    • I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
    • Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.  
    • Yes thanks that's exactly the choices I get.  I will block and if somehow they find a way back I'll report.
