Current delays in bin deliveries

We regret that, due to staff absences, deliveries of new or replacement bins, boxes and food waste caddies(link is external) are taking longer than normal.

Our standard timescale for deliveries is up to 5 working days, although we can normally deliver much faster than that. However, our current staffing difficulties are impacting this, and deliveries can take around two weeks or more at present.

We are working hard to catch up with our deliveries, and hope to have made significant progress within the next two weeks. In the meantime, we apologise for any inconvenience caused to residents.

Refuse

Picture of refuse binNow that we make weekly refuse collections, we allow only one black refuse bin per household. This has a standard size of 140-litres.

If you are a larger household, of ten people or more, you can request an upgrade to a larger, 240-litre black refuse bin. This will be subject to a home visit from one of our recycling team. They will discuss your needs and ensure that recycling services are being fully used.

How long do deliveries take?

We aim to deliver any new or replacement bin within five working days.

Right thing, right bin

It's really important to put the right thing in the right bin. What if the Council can't recycle it?
