Report a missed bin collection

Report a missed bin collection

Reasons why we may not have collected your bin

• Your collection is on a public holiday when collection times change. See holiday bin collections.
• Our bin lorry has broken down.
• Bad weather stopped us collecting your bin.
• We couldn’t get access to your street due to parked cars. This means it can take us much longer to empty bins, or it can stop us from collecting bins. To help our bin collection service run as smoothly as possible, please park so that our bin lorries can get to your bin collection point.
• Your bin lids weren’t closed.
• Your bins were too heavy.
• The wrong items were in your bins or boxes.
• Your bin is damaged. Order a new bin.
