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.
This includes; roadworks, vehicle breakdowns, crew sickness, severe weather and 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 also ensure that your bin is out by 6:30am on your collection day and you follow our bin collection advice.
Before reporting a missed collection
Check below for known delays in your area.
If your road is listed below, it means we are already aware that you haven't had a collection.
