Communal property

If you have recently moved into a newly built communal property with a bin store, you should request a waste warden assessment

This will ensure we provide the most appropriate containers for your property.


Replacement containers

You can order replacement containers (as listed above) if yours has been lost, stolen or damaged.

Waste and recycling crews also use their in-cab system to immediately report and re-order any containers they lose or damage during collections.


New or additional containers

You can order additional recycling boxes and/or lids for a charge. See charges below

If you wish to order another reusable recycling bag, you can order one using the form below.

If you are the first occupier of a new build property where there is no bin or recycling box, you should request a new supply of waste containers.

If you feel the standard size wheelie bin or number of blue bags is inadequate for your household, you can request additional capacity via a waste warden assessment.

Terms and conditions for ordering recycling boxes

We operates a chargeable replacement service for recycling boxes for households across the borough. These Council Terms and Conditions (“T&Cs”) are the ones we intend to rely on for this service.

  1. Replacement boxes are chargeable at the prices displayed above. All prices are subject to change and are reviewed annually. Concessionary rates will be applied to box and lid charges for people who receive Council Tax Support by at least 80%.
  2. If you are eligible for a concessionary rate, you understand that all information supplied in the form will be checked.
  3. You understand that if you are not entitled to any discount, the full cost will be charged.
  4. You understand that no purchase will be completed until the additional amount has been paid if you are not eligible for a concessionary rate.
  5. Accepted methods of online payment are debit or credit card. The exception to the charges is where the crew have damaged a box or lid during the course of their collections. Where this occurs, the crew will order a replacement to be delivered and will leave the damaged container at the property.
  6. All containers remain the property of the Council. If you move to another property within the borough, you should leave the standard provision of one black wheelie bin and two recycling boxes at the property you are vacating.
