From 1 June 2023 we will charge a fee of £90 to provide refuse and recycling bins to newly built properties and long-term vacant properties.
If you are moving or have moved into a new build property and don't appear to have any bins, before purchasing bins please check with the developer/agent that they have not already been paid for and arranged to be delivered. If the property developer has not paid for the supply of containers to your home, you will be required to pay.
Most homes have two standard sized 240-litre wheelie bins:
The charge for both of these bins is £90.
Please complete our online payment form if you are ready to order your new bins. This online form will talk you through the process of checking if your property has been registered and applying for bins.
Our contractor will usually deliver bins within 10 working days of your moving-in date. Refuse waste will be collected in bags until bins are delivered, please present bags on your normal collection day. Recycling will only be collected after bins have been delivered so, please store any recycling until you have your bins.
View and complete our other online request forms if your bins are damaged, or if you need extra bin space for a large household.
