The fridge's thermosat has gone and the freezer sounds like a animal in distress. Besides which, even if new parts could be obtained, the way they were installed, or rather the way the flooring was installed butting up tight in front of their feet means I may have to cut the legs down to get them out from under the counter :-(


As for calling Southwark, brilliant idea. Lol, I've got Saturday on the brain.

Southwark's free bulky collection is fantastic and yes they take freezers ,fridges etc .


You can arrange on line

Thanks, I did check, it really is a fantastic service. Something like 14 items a month! When I lived in Lambeth, many moons ago admittedly, it was 8 items per year and I thought that was great. Compare that to where my folks live in Wales where they have to pay to have something like a fridge collected.


The one area Southwark seems to neglect is collection of small recyclable items like kettles, phones etc. The advice is always to take them down to the depot but if you aren't very mobile, that can be problematic. I'm sure a lot of that type of stuff must end up in landfill. I may try booking a few such items with the collection of the fridge and freezer..

Yes, it is strange they don't collect those things but there is a receptacle for smallish electrical items at the Sainsbury's recycling centre.

Haha, I'm sure they do but when whoever picks it up finds out it doesn't work, they'll bin it most likely. In which case I might as well cut out the middleman and bin it myself, but that's missing the point, lol..

There are people constantly cruising the area looking for scrap metal. There was a thread on it fairly recently.


It's irrelevant whether the stuff works or not because they just want it for the value of the metal.

    • Other than acting as 'interested parties' Southwark Councillors have no responsibility for water issues. And no real leverage either. Considering the complete disdain with which Thames Water treats its own Regulator, and the government, (let alone its customers) I doubt very much whether an entire battalion of councillors would have much impact. What powers could they exercise?
    • That may not be so - many on this site are experts in many areas - you yourself claim huge traffic management (or similar) expertise for instance. And I think you will find that Southwark employees are unlikely to support criticism or challenges to Southwark policy - why, you don't and you apparently neither live in, or vote in, the borough. Do you, however, work for it, as you are such a cheerleader? If not, then you are the most passionate disinterested person on this site, as regards so many aspects, not just traffic.
    • Rather than have a go at Southwark,  contact them, they will employ at least one arborist who will know far more than most people on this site. Here's one: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shaun-murphy-morris-03b7b665/?originalSubdomain=uk
    • I would look in the surrounding area as once they realise it has nothing they could sell or of obvious monatary value in it they'll dump the bag and contents.
