Lost or stolen bins
You can order a replacement bin from us by using the online form below, a £44.34 charge per wheeled bin is applicable.
Before ordering your new bin, please check that it has not been left at a neighbour’s property or further down the street.
There are several things you can do to help prevent bins being stolen:
- Use a permanent marker to clearly mark your address on your bin.
- Store your wheeled bin in a secure location.
- Where practical, try not to place your bin out for collection the night before (as this leaves more time for it to go missing). Remember, your bin should be placed outside for collection before 7.30am.
- Try to ensure that your bin is brought back in as soon as possible after the collection (your neighbour may be able to help you with this).
