Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
50 uses for your new green wheelie bin: number 1
Number 1 (part of an occasional series):
As a way of transferring your rubble before you dump it into the Harringay Passage
Photo taken between Hampden Road and Lausanne Road. In the latter, I discovered a second Green Wheelie also filled with rubble...how kind of the council to provide such useful receptacles for the local illegal dumpers to transfer their waste building materials to their illegal dump sites.
Report dumping here
Oh and a reminder that the best way to use your new Green wheelie bin is to put all your recyclables in for the weekly collection

No new wheelie as yet, but my recycling was not picked up today as usual.

We've got the monster new bin, but it won't be emptied until the 19th June so we have to keep and use our little one until them.
I'm happy about the new arrangements but can't say I'm too pleased with the implementation.

Any else get a black-lidded rather than green-lidded green bin ?
Confused

You can get a small version of the recycling wheelie bin - you just need to ask for it. and it's probably a lot less attractive to flytippers!

When are we supposed to get these bins? I am on pemberton. Not seen anything with a roll out date and it looks like some places are getting theirs. I guess they will just 'arrive'?

They'll just arrive Justin. Got ours last week. So much better than those awful boxes (which the council won't take back!). And they're really not that big. We fill ours about half way in a week. Guess Veolia are keeping open the option for collection every other week ...

We are due to receive our new bins soon. But what to do with the old ones? The information provided graciously suggests one might use the old broken, filthy plastic containers for other purposes around the house, or lug them to a reuse and recycling centre. But neither of these seems appealing to me.

If we were told roughly when the new bins would arrive we could leave the old ones outside to be taken by the same crew delivering the new bin, no?

I live in a house divided into two flats. Does this mean we will have two monster recycling wheelie bins AND two normal rubbish wheelie bins?
This seems like overkill as we don't throw away that much and the garden is not that big.
Would they let us share with our neighbour if we ask them?

I asked Veolia if they could only deliver one bin to share with the upstairs flat, and was told they couldn't cancel delivery of the bins, but we could ask for removal once it had been delivered. I was told an email would be enough to arrange this.

They were certainly unwilling to remove the old bins when they delivered our new ones earlier this week.
I was instead suggested to take them to the reuse and recycling centre, now just need to decide whether to take the filthy things on the bus or by cycle. Or pitch them in the new bins which sort of defeats the purpose....

I've been pondering using old green recycling boxes to create some planters on the street - where I live there aren't any and the boxes would probably be more attractive than tyres (the other option I'd wondered about).
We got 2 small wheelie bins in the end by mistake - now they have to come and collect one!
