Household waste and recycling

Changes to wheeled bin collections

To make sure our waste collection service is fit for the future, we've made changes to bin collections from Monday 8 April 2024. This includes a subscription service for garden waste collections.

Wheeled bins will be collected on your usual day around the May bank holidays, including collections on the bank holiday Mondays.

Request a new bin

The property occupier is responsible for replacing damaged or stolen wheeled bins.

Costs are:

  • £50 for a new wheeled bin
  • £30 for a new wheeled bin if you are aged 60 or over
  • £30 for a new wheeled bin if you receive certain benefits – proof of entitlement will be needed

You can pay to have more than one blue recycling bin for us to collect per property.

We will collect only one grey or green general waste bin per property.

Request online

You can ask for a new bin by using our online form below to report a damaged or missing bin, including a stolen bin. We will contact you to confirm details and take payment.

Report a damaged or missing bin

We replace bins at no charge if they are damaged or lost as a result of our collection operations. Our full policy on replacement bins is below.
