Bin costs

For individual properties from the 10th November 2025 there will be a £48 charge for new or replacement refuse and recycling bins. For missing, stolen or lost bins please ensure you have tried to locate your bin before placing an order as no refunds will be given.

If you are in receipt of council administered benefits you may be entitled to a discount. You will need to provide proof of this during the application process. For those in communal properties or those that share facilities, then specific bin sizes must be purchased. This is the responsibility of the resident association, management company or equivalent party.

Bin care

Purchased bins become the property of the resident. Care should be taken to ensure they are safe from theft or misuse by others.

If a wheeled bin is damaged by the collection operation (but not attributable to wear and tear) it will be replaced free of charge. The collection crews are instructed to report any instances where bins are lost into the back of the collection vehicle or damaged by the bin lifting equipment. Where collection damage is attributable to wear and tear, the resident will be responsible for the replacement.
