Hello, 

I'm looking for some advice please. 

I have an old TV, which I have tried to rehome, but no-one seems to want it, fair, as it's not a smart tv. But I'm now looking at how to dispose of it?

I've contacted a charity to collect but they haven't got back to me. It's too big for the WEE recycling bins and I don't have a car to get to the tip with it. Southwark want £35 to collect it, which seems very extreme. 

Does anyone have another suggestion that I haven't thought of please? 

Many Thanks, Natalie

I've got one to get rid of, its digital but not smart so hoped that someone would like it for a PlayStation.  I assume you tried to give it away through this site.

Otherwise it will have to be disposed of properly, perhaps a neighbour is going to a tip, where there will be a facility there.  I think most boroughs you don't have to pay if you bring it over.  If you have a street WhatsApp that may help

Hello malumbu, 

I have tried to get rid of it through this site too. I thought the same that it might be ok for a kids room, to watch dvd's or something. But apparently not. 

I also listed it on the facebook group of the estate I live on. I don't have to pay if I take it to the tip myself no. But I cant physically get it there on buses and trains. I'm fairly fit, but its just not feasible. 

I'm not sure if there is a whatsapp group for my street, or how I'd even go about finding one. Thanks though!

The ‘Our Bike’ community cargo bike might be an option, especially if you have some other shopping to do nearby on the Old Kent Rd. You can hire the bike by the hour, and there are two available in East Dulwich. https://ourbike.co.uk/

If you still aren't able to find a new owner by the weekend, I will take to the recycling centre for you.  I have to go past it either Saturday or Sunday, so would happily detour.  

you can drop off old TVs to Curry's/PC world even without buying

      Fireworks

      By first mate · Posted

      That is true, but that short burst of intense noise can cause life-changing, long-term damage and consequences for pets and their owners. A quick internet search shows there is a developing craze for as-loud-as-possible fireworks- the emphasis is on how much of a bang they make, not on the visual aspect. What is it that people love so much about this and why do they think it is okay to impose it on everyone else? I am appalled that the government clearly have no intention of doing a thing about it. Our allegedly 'green' council should probably take a closer look. If we start having fireworks going off every night for 6 months of the year, that is going to have a variety of environmental impacts.

      Fireworks

      By Insuflo · Posted

      The amount of fireworks noise over a wide area last night couldn’t have just been teenagers messing around. I’m presuming that St. Andrew’s Day (or the eve of) has now been added the ever lengthening list of dates that some people feel need to be marked with ordnance. It doesn’t really matter whether the police or council is responsible for enforcement; if the launch site or the person lighting the touch-paper can’t be identified, how are they supposed to do anything? The only solution is to end the sale of fireworks to the public, which the Fire Brigades Union has lobbied for for decades. All governments since the ‘70s have resisted this. Otherwise, pressure local councils to withhold licenses to retailers. More regulation not less, which goes against the mantra of both Labour and Tories. I personally don’t give business to some local newsagents, who now spend a quarter of the year promoting the sale of fireworks.

      Hole saw to borrow

      Hi, Is the worktop timber?  I may have one, I need to check sizes later today.  Would a spade bit do or do you specifically want a hole saw?
