Wheeled Bins

There are 2 sizes of Wheelie bin available, medium and large.

The Medium (240ltr) bin is standard and is delivered to all properties within the Borough.

You can apply for a larger (360ltr) one dependant on your circumstances (conditions/assessments apply).  Download the application form, complete it and then return it to our Streetscene Department.

A large bin is designed for the larger families of the borough.

• If you have 6 or more in your family then you are entitled to a larger bin, you can apply for one straight away, by calling the Streetscene department.
  
• For those families with 5 in their family, you may be able to get a larger bin but conditions will apply. An officer may come out and do a waste audit to access the amount of rubbish that is produced and recycled.
