If you are renewing your subscription
If you already have a small white sticker on your bin, the chip in it will be reactivated within 5 working days of your payment so you do not need a new one. You can then present your green bin on the next collection day.
Your existing green bin sticker will look like the white sticker in the image above. Do not worry if the text or QR code on the sticker is no longer visible, the tag inside it can still be scanned by our bin collection staff.
