Helpful Advice
  • Requesting a wheelie bin – Demand for wheelie bins is currently very high. If you wish to request a wheelie bin, there is a wait of up to 4 weeks for delivery.

    Please do not call the council if you wish to request a wheelie bin, instead, fill out this form and your request will be processed.
  • Moving home – If you are moving home, please remember you should leave your wheelie bin/clear recycling sacks at your old property and not take them with you to your new home.
