Service information

Use this service to tell us that we didn't pick up your bin on its collection day.

You can only report a missed bin:

  • after 3pm on your collection day
  • within 2 working days of your collection day

Before you start

Check our bin collection calendar to make sure your bin went out on the correct day.

Look for a sticker on your bin telling you: 

  • there were wrong items in your bin 
  • it was too heavy
  • it was an unapproved additional bin
  • garden waste was placed in your brown bin without a permit. Please note, your collections will begin once your new permit is on your brown bin. You can purchase your permit online.

If you don't have a sticker, you can report your missed bin via the online form below.

If you've got a sticker, please take action to remove any additional or incorrect waste items and contact us.
