My waste hasn't been collected
For general rubbish and recycling, we collect more than 80,000 bins across the districts every week.
Unsure of when we collect your waste? Check your collection day
Sometimes, bin collections can be delayed by factors out of our control such as, roadworks, obstructive parking, breakdowns and adverse or severe weather.
Before reporting a missed collection, please check below for any known delays in your area:
To avoid unnecessary missed collections, please ensure that:
- The correct bins are put out by 6.30 am on your collection day
- Lids are firmly closed
- The bins are placed at the nearest point to the public highway
- Any additional waste/recycling is placed in authorised sacks (we don't accept black sacks)
If your bin contains items it shouldn't it may not be emptied and or stickered to let you know why. Check what should go in your bins.
