Pocket Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Just wanted to give a watch-out. Someone has been going through our recycling bin on a regular basis over the past fortnight (during the night) - pretty methodically taking stuff out and sifting through. There could be lots of reasons; identity theft being one of them of course. This weekend we found this person/s had also defecated in our front garden as well.We're just off Lyndhurst Grove. The local police community group has been notified. If anyone else has had an issue with this please do report it. And take care to shred anything personal etc before throwing it in the recycling bin.

pinecone Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 This really is a bit of a stretch. I can't believe you can identify a paper-rifler from their stools. Question is, why have you been targeted?

DulwichFox Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 They were on Ulverscroft rd. last week going through Green bins. Not usually used for Paper Waste.

pinecone Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 DF, did they leave a deposit when they visited Ulverscroft? I do find it hard to believe that people looking for identity materials would be minded to relieve themselves in someone's garden without a prior motive.

northwoods Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Perhaps they were marking their territory, to warn off other potential bin-riflers...

pinecone Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 DF, I think you misunderstand me. I am not disputing the cheek of sifting through recycling bins. I am merely saying that it is quite a stretch to say that the defecator in question is necessarily the same person.

I at no time suggested that anyone had defecated.The O.P. did suggest the like. The main subject of this thread is 'Someone going through recycling bins.'I just replied that I had witnessed the same.DulwichFox Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/35698-watch-out-someone-going-through-recycling-bins/#findComment-674173 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DulwichFox Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 This is not an isolated event..There is a group of them, going around looking in bins. Possible for scrap but Most likely looking for Secure Waste.Always Shred your Secure Waste documents.. Shredders are not that expensive and could save you losingyour ID.DulwichFox.

lorraineliyanage Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Not quite the same as rifling for personal date in the recycling bin but some berk dumped his dog's turd in my blue recycling bin the other day on Barry Road. Luckily I saw him and made him retrieve it from the bin. He didn't bother to offer an apology either - the arrogance of some people, eh!

MarleyLover Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 In my local area - just behind Rye Lane. I have noticed in the early hours of the morning - some Eastern European looking men, driving around in a open top van, going through rubbish bins as well as recycling bins, collecting items that are of interest to them. This too has been happening for some weeks now.

Romnarz Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 well these bins are recycle bins and they are recycling so thats got to be good. I suspect that most of my carefully recycled stuff gets buried or burnt anyway. Lewisham have a waste incinerator SELCHP near millwall football that needs to be fed loads of rubbish in order to generate much needed electricity.
