There is also a textile bin in Peckham Rye Park.


As it happens, I need to get rid of some old pillows as well and was going to take them to one of these. Every time I take textiles to Sainsbury's though it is overflowing though, and it doesn't feel right to just leave stuff in bags on the ground. I think it was a similar situation in the park last time I went as well. Anyone know when they get cleared so I can actually get it in there? Or is the MIND one a better bet?

Hmm. From the Southwark A-Z of waste:


"Duvets, pillows or bed sheets

Bed linen in good condition can be taken to the numerous textile banks throughout the borough. " https://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/10070/recycling/1365/a_to_z_of_waste_and_recycling/5


Not sure what counts as good condition, but I'm guessing they don't mean something that has been in use for a year or more so the green bin is probably right @intexas

Find a tower block.

Get a razor blade.

Climb to top.

Slit pillow out of window / over balcony.

Watch your feather-cloud dissipate over the streets below - a fitting sky burial for the poor bird that donated the feathers possibly years before.


Note: not same with foam-filled pillows.

    • Personally I feel its a shame for the tree. The bridge looks pretty badly damaged-I just hope it does'nt mean the entrance from Dulwich Common/Lordship Lane will be closed for ages while they fix it.
    • This is such a shame for the bridge.  I wonder if anyone saw it fall, and when it was (at night?) Is the walking path through the woods still accessible?   
    • Free range chickens &/ organic whole chickens are around £15-20 retail these days…  Given their credentials in hospitality etc I’d assume Norbert’s has sourced decent quality chicken, wholesale. The fact they aren’t saying anything about that on the menu or website seems strange…  if it were true it would help justify the price. Chicken & 2 x Chips - would work out £10.50 a head between 4… not bad if it’s decent quality chicken and seasoned well with care & skill
    • I have no lawn but still trying to get wild flowers to germinate. After a couple of years sowing seeds I've finally managed to produce some ox eye daisies. Still trying to succeed with cornflowers, vipers bugloss to name but a few. A couple of foxgloves are coming up. Its a gradual process for which we need lots of patience. Don't forget after No Mow May it's Let it Bloom June.
