Let us know about a missed collection

Put all your waste and recycling containers as close as possible to the edge of your property by 6.30am on your collection day. Make sure they are easy to see, or we might not collect them.

You can check your collection day by using our rubbish and recycling collection days tool.

If we don't collect your bins by 5.00pm, and you think we've forgotten, report it online before the end of the next working day.

You can also tell us if a public litter bin needs emptying.


We will come back to collect your waste or recycling if:

  • it was put out on time and in the right place
  • it had the right things in it
  • you told us we missed it before 5.00pm on the next working day after the day it should have been collected

You can report a missed collection of:

  • general waste
  • recycling
  • food waste
  • garden waste (have your garden waste reference number ready)
  • bins in a shared bin store

If you put your bin or recycling out late, or it's too late to tell us we missed it, you can either:
