I’ve come across another residents whose had work undertaken on her home. The builders have left her with 20 bags of rubble in her front garden. By law they should take them away and leave a waste transfer note.

Once left how do you get rid of them. Southwark has a bulk refuse service but it isn’t designed to take them and why should it if workmen by law should have. Also, it could be contaminated with asbestos for example. Also, it could mean workmen start leaving bags of rubble and shirk their responsibilities.

IF the householder doesn’t have a car to remove to the municipal recyclnig centre at Manor Place what does the resident do. If they put in their wheelie bin and it noticeably weighs more then it wont be emptied.

Everyone’s stance is perfectly reasonable and justified but it still leaves the odd residents with an intractable problem.

The moral of this story. If you have work done on your home or business make sure they take all the waste with them.
