Say ‘no’ to green garden waste recycling cuts
Carl with a keen gardener on South Croxted Road
The introduction of fortnightly green waste collections last year has been extremely popular with green-fingered residents across our area, encouraging more people to recycle more garden cuttings than ever before.
Carl, Andrew and Suzanne support the current arrangements and were shocked that Lambeth Council won’t guarantee regular collections after April, risking a return to the dark ages when residents had to make an appointment for their bags to be collected.
Carl says: “We need to be encouraging people to recycle more, not making it harder. Scrapping such a popular scheme would be madness – the Council must see sense.”
Sign our petition to support the existing regular collections and oppose a return to the old booking system…
We the undersigned support the regular fortnightly green garden waste collections and oppose any plans to reinstate the old phone booking service or any other reduction in service.

With regular collectio times it has cut down the number of trips to one road. In the past I might get a collection on a monday but my next door neighbour wouldn't get a collection until Thursday' and the house opposite not until Friday.

We are surprised that Lambeth Council are changing their mind once again, because when they introduced the Green Bags, they were practically demanding everyone to put their green waste in those bags. Now that people have accepted the idea they are saying they cannot do it after April. Why dont they at least do a collection the first week in every month, that would halve the workload, otherwise Residents will have problems disposing of green waste.
