Request a new* or replacement bin, bin repair or bin removal

Each residential property is entitled to one standard size green bin and one standard size blue bin. Exceptions apply to flats and houses of multiple occupancy (such a bed-sits) where shared communal waste containers may be provided.

You are responsible for looking after your bins and are encouraged to take steps to store them securely.

Replacement green and blue bins are currently provided free of charge if they have been lost or stolen. All structurally damaged bins will be repaired wherever possible and replaced only if beyond repair. We will not replace bins that are useable.

*Please note that not all bins supplied will be brand new as, in line with reducing our carbon footprint, we may supply a refurbished or pre-loved bin.

Bins supplied remain the property of the council and any charges levied for the supply of a bin are to cover administration and delivery.

Please note, to receive a free brown bin you must have a Garden Waste collection subscription.

Make sure your bins are only left out for the relevant collection day and brought back in after they have been emptied.
