Help with your bin collection

If you're unable to leave your bin out for collection, and have no-one to do it for you, our staff can help. You can apply for our free assisted bin lift service.

We offer an assisted bin lift service where your wheeled bin is taken from your property, emptied into the bin lorry by our waste collection staff and then returned to your home.

This service is provided free of charge to those people who are unable to leave their bin out for collection and have no-one else available to do it for them.
