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

We have washed out the old one, and put it in the back garden to keep wellies in.

You should include the 2 wheelie bins outside my flat which are now full of rubble, from the bogus council man, who came door knocking & i paid to take away our broken wall, only for him to then bring it right back to us later that eve
Still working out how to get rid of it without paying a fortune

Once they have transfered over to the Green Wheelie Bin from the week starting Monday 18th June you can dispose of your unwanted Green Boxes at the two recycling points (dumps) at Tottenham and Hornsey yards -
We will also be collecting them at the Gardens Community Garden (GRA) in Doncaster Gardens, off Stanhope Gardens N4 also from the Sat 16th June for 4 weeks working in partnership with the LCSP - Haringey Council and Veolia.
We have identified that they are not being collected by Veolia so some people will want to get rid of them but the two recycling centres are too far away, so we are carrying out the same kind of initiative as the Xmas tree recycling for locals to drop them off then veolia will collect them and dispose / recycle them on.
It would be good to see a series of photos of 50 things people are doing with their Green Boxes as ideas. any thoughts?

Oh yes, good idea Andy. When the first person submits a picture of their new use for a green box, I'll open a suitably titled thread. I want to grow stuff in mine and I was wondering if any of the local gardening projects might use them for potatoes or carrots. I've also had the gentle suggestion from my husband that I use one to store all the plant pots I seem to be accumulating thanks to the generosity of others.
