Sent to Bromley Council 2 weeks, 3 hours, 15 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 7760872.

• Please give brief details of your complaint or compliment below: Every time I visit the recycling point in the car park behind the Post Office in Chislehurst the bins for plastics and cans are full, and this was the case again yesterday, June 23rd. Can you tell me with what frequency these bins are emptied or replaced ? Perhaps you should add to the number of these bins in order to cater for the demand ? Thanks in advance for your kind attention to this matter. James Delaney • What action (if any) would you like us to take? Increase number of bins

They are still overflowing and I am still unable to dispose of my recycling. • What action (if any) would you like us to take? Empty the bins and continue to do so on a regular basis
