Report a missed collection
Missed collections must be reported within 48 hours of your scheduled collection day.
Before you report a missed bin:
- Check above for any service updates
- Is it your bin collection day? Check your collection day
- Was your bin out in time? Collections start from 7am
- Did you leave your bin in the right place? Bins should be placed on the kerbside. We cannot collect bins and boxes left on private property unless it is agreed as part of an assisted collection
- All missed collections need to be reported within 48 hours of the scheduled collection
- Bad weather such as snow and ice may mean that it is unsafe for bin crews to leave the depot. However, unless otherwise instructed by the council, please leave your bin out as normal and we will empty it as soon as we are able
- Please make sure all your recycling is sorted inside the correct box or bag with the lid on. Unsorted recycling will not be collected (unless you only have one box)
Or you can telephone customer services on 01242 262626 (lines are open during office hours only).
