Extra bins

Extra bins will only be supplied in exceptional circumstances, for instance when six or more people live in a property or where a person's medical condition generates large volumes of waste. We may come out to check the details given in your request.

When can I expect delivery of a replacement bin?

We are currently experiencing a delay in the supply of all bins. Please be patient and do not submit multiple requests. We hope to post a revised delivery schedule here as soon as possible.
