Order a new bin
If you need to order a new wheeled bin for your waste or recycling please call our Customer Services team on 01664 502502. There is a charge of £44.34 per wheeled bin.
If your property has been assigned sacks the charge is £20 for sacks.
Lost or stolen bins
Please check that it has not been left at a neighbour’s property or further down the street. To prevent loss or theft of containers residents are reminded that containers need to be returned to a secure place after collection.
You will still need to call us for replacement bins and a £44.34 charge per wheeled bin is applicable.
There are several things you can do to help prevent bins being stolen:
- Use a permanent marker to clearly mark your address on your bin
- Where practical try not to place your bin out for collection the night before as this means more time for it to go missing. Containers should be placed outside for collection before 7.30am
- Try to ensure that your bin is brought back in as soon as possible after the collection. Your neighbour may be able to help with this
Damaged bins
Damaged bins will incur the standard charge.
If the bin is cracked or broken within two years of the date of delivery we will replace it free of charge. If the bin is over two years old there is a £44.34 charge for each replacement bin inclusive of delivery.
