A whole street in neighbouring Brockley where my friends live sprouted Brown Bins (to go next to the Black and Green ones) yesterday. No announcement. No letter. No details on the bin as to why.
Has anyone else seen these and know what they are for? Is Lewisham starting a composting collection service? There is nothing on their website that I can find. |

Apparently they are indeed for compostable stuff. |

Yes, I asked this elsewhere and got this response from a friend:
"These bins are part of green waste collection service trial. The residents have been given information about the trial. It will be assessed against our recycling and waste reduction targets at the end of the summer."
It seems it is only a trial so not a council-wide development.
They seem a good idea in principle, but I'm not sure how many have room for 3 bins! |

Share the bins between you. |
