Report a Missed Bin
Sometimes road works, lorry breakdowns, a change of route or crew, or other unexpected events can alter the collection of your bins. For this reason your bin may be collected earlier or later than usual on your normal day of collection. A bin is considered 'missed' if it has not been collected by 5pm on your collection day.
Please make sure that you have followed our guidance regarding rubbish and recycling collection, including:
- the bins or bags were placed out on the correct collection day (please check schedule changes for Bank Holidays)
- the bins or bags were at your property boundary by 7am on the day of collection
- bags were not split or so heavy that lifting could cause a split
- the bin lids were closed
- the refuse contains no restricted items – see household waste collections page
- the correct recyclable materials are placed into the correct box – see recycling collections page
Bins or bags will not be collected if they contain commercial waste, hazardous waste or are too heavy to be safely moved by the crew.
