Missed collections
We collect more than 100,000 bins across the districts every week.
Sometimes, collections can be delayed by factors out of our control. Examples include roadworks, vehicle breakdowns, crew sickness, severe weather or parked cars preventing safe access.
To avoid a missed collection, check what should go in your bins. If a bin contains unacceptable items, it will not be emptied.
Please ensure that your bin is out by 6.30am on your collection day and that you follow our bin collection advice.
