Order a bin or request a removal
Due to the SELCHP waste plant being closed, there may be delays to bin collections in the borough this week (w/c 25 September). We are continuing to collect bins on their usual collection day, but your bin may be collected at a later time than it usually is.
If your bin is not collected on its assigned day, we will return to collect it later in the week - you do not need to report a missed collection. Please leave it at the edge of your property ready for collection.
Food waste binsWe're currently out of food waste bins (23-litre) – we're expecting a delivery in the next few weeks. We apologise for the inconvenience.

If we have removed your bins
We will not give you a new recycling bin or food waste bin if we had to remove your old one because you used it incorrectly. You would have received letters from us advising on this prior to removal. To make sure you use your bins correctly, find out what items can go in your recycling and food waste bins.
Request a bigger bin
In exceptional circumstances, we can provide a larger rubbish bin for your property if you meet certain criteria. If you live in a flat above a shop you will be issued with sacks for your waste, in some circumstances you can order extra sacks, check your bins by property.
