Missed collections
We collect more than 100,000 bins across the districts every week.
Sometimes, collections can be delayed by factors out of our control. Examples include; roadworks, vehicle breakdowns, crew sickness, severe weather or parked cars preventing safe access.
To avoid a missed collection, check what should go in your bins. If a bin contains unacceptable items, it will not be emptied.
Please ensure that your bin is out by 6.30am on your collection day and that you follow our bin collection advice.
