Harringay online

Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

To save me wondering which waste collection week was which, for the first time in my life, I actually put the waste collection calendar on the wall at the top of the cellar stairs. 

A couple of days later I consulted it only to find the nest day that the rubbish the calendar said should have been taken wasn't. 

I checked online and found that it apparently had an error. 

I dropped a note to Veolia who have very efficiently just replied with a corrected pdf version of the calendar along with a promise to deliver correct printed versions. (Thank you, Gabrielle).

I'm fine with printing it myself and, in case anyone else who has their collections on Wednesday (Week A) would also find the calendar helpful, I've attached it to this post. (The ones I found online only go as far as March).

How confusing...

Oh I see - it's the same as usual, except a day later on bank holiday weeks. I think that often happened anyway. Not sure they need to reprint the entire booklet - a correction slip would do it.

No, the mistake was that the general waste (non-recyclable) collection days were showing in the wrong weeks. Since that's the primary purpose of the calendar, it's pretty pointless to have it at all if that element is wrong. 

Yup!

Yonks ago I was about to sign off a printer’s proof of a document that was to go out to every household in Camden. I’d proof read it maybe a dozen times and my pen was poised when some one passing my desk pointed out that, on the front cover, the word “Council” in 28 point type was actual spelled “Coucil”. It’s the closest I’ve every got to actually swooning.

Yvonne, did your suppervisor not suggest 'stereotyping'?

Yes, you get 'blind' to the obvious when you've been working on it so closely. I used to ask someone in the office who had not seen the drafts to proofread the final version. 

Did not get my recycling collected for two weeks. Normally on a Friday

Got cleared this Sunday

Joys of Bank Holidays

Yesterday, I let Veolia know that their online collection calendars were out of date. Today, they added the up to date versions here

Now I really am confused Hugh, because the calendar you posted here is identical to the one I was sent, so I must already have the correct one. (I got muddled last week because I hadn't realised it had been moved to Thur...)

There are two Wednesday rounds - "Week A" and "Week B". I think your road is the same as mine So, you're Week A. You can check here

They 'can't find the information' at present and suggested I try entering a different address!! I'm pretty sure it's the same as yours though, which means I do have the correct calendar at home.
