See why your bin has not been emptied
Our bin wagons are fitted with a system that records any issues the crews may have had with collections when out and about on their rounds
The ongoing wintry weather continues to have a serious impact on waste and recycling collections across the district. Our crews are working hard to complete collections in the sub-zero temperatures, but it is likely to take some time for collections return to normal. Organic (brown bin) collections are suspended until week commencing Monday 20th January 2025. Please present your other bins as indicated on your collection calendar, and check for collection updates using the green button below. |
If your bin was out before 6am, but it hasn't been emptied by the end of the day, you can now see if there was an access issue affecting all or part of your street at the time we were collecting. This form will tell you if we plan to return for the bin before your next bin day.
We won't return to empty your bin before your next collection day if:
- your bin was not out for collection when we visited your street
- the wrong bin was presented
- the bin contained items or materials we don't accept and has been stickered by our crew
- the bin was too heavy for the crew to move
- the contents of your bin were stuck or frozen inside and didn't drop out when we tipped the bin
If no reasons were reported by the crew, you can use this same form to report a missed collection to us and we will come back within 5 working days.
Missed collections must be reported within 2 working days of your scheduled bin day.
