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

      Tessa Jowell centre car park.

      By Eats Dulwich · Posted

      I doubt if it was something special - it has been full a few times I've been recently and when I have been able to get a space I've been lucky and bagged the only one available. I think there are only around 15 general spaces. Others are for staff, blue badge holders or EVs. I guess in winter people are more likely to drive, it wouldn't take much to fill all the spaces with the different things going on at the surgery/pharmacy such as blood tests, picking up prescriptions. It's possible a lot of the cars are in and out in 15 mins, i've not monitored it closely. This morning with all spaces filled when I arrived there were a couple of cars loitering in the hope of a space becoming available. I didn't want to risk it. As has been said, you can drive in and out and be caught on camera and not get a ticket but I'm not sure what the grace period is, if there is one.  Like you, I don't think a significant number of people are parking there to go shopping - it's too far from Lordship Lane as I found out this morning when i had to run from LL to Tessa Jowell! i guess the car parking spaces just can't cope with the number of legit drivers using Tessa Jowell and if that's the case not a lot can be done about it.

      Wanted near Bellenden Road: firewood. If you have any spare or unwanted firewood (e.g. left by previous owners), please let me know. Thanks!

      I go there quite regularly (don't ask), on my own behalf and as a chauffeur for family. I have never noted people parking up, going in and then straight out again once registered. Some times of day (and some days) are much busier than others, as you might expect, especially during winter vaccination season.

      There are a lot of car parking spaces - in order for them to all be filled, it would suggest a local event rather than unrelated shoppers. Does the surgery have records of when the it's full? presume there is some sort of management of it. Perhaps there is a correlation to local activity or a pattern.
