Bad weather, road works, parked vehicles, and a range of other operational issues can sometimes mean we are unable to empty bins.
If you sign-up for bin alerts we can send you email reminders and updates for all your collections.
You do not need to report a missed bin collection if:
- Your bin is not full and you can manage until your next collection
- The bins in your street or part of your street have not been emptied
When to report a missed bin
- Wait until after 5pm on your collection day and report it to us before 1pm the following day.
Do not report a missed collection if your bin:
- Wasn't at the kerbside or your collection point by 7am
- Is too full and the lid is not fully closed
- Has incorrect items within it (check our bins information).
