I also was impressed by the removal of rubbish over the snow period, and in general the service is very good.
HOWEVER, i have a real problem with the lack of green waste facilities with Lewisham council. To dispose of the compostable debris from you garden you are required to purchase a black plastic bag from a local Lewisham library at ?1 a bag in order for the bin men to take it away. When i inquired as to the disposal of these bags, from a staff member of said council, i was told they would end up in mine fields!!
At this point i would like to point out that our neighbours southwark provide entire wheely bins for this purpose at no extra charge!!
It makes my blood boil.
Anybody got any bright ideas??
