Waste and recycling

Replacement waste containers

Lost and damaged bins and boxes

If we’ve lost or damaged your wheelie bin or recycling box during collection, we’ll put a postcard through your letterbox explaining how we’ll replace it, free of charge.

However, you'll need to order replacement wheelie bins or replacement recycling boxes, by telephone: 01904 551551, if they:

  • have signs of normal ‘wear and tear’
  • have been lost or stolen
  • were missing when you moved in
  • were not bought from us

You can collect a maximum of 2 additional or replacement recycling boxes free of charge from our Household Waste Recycling Centres. Simply ask a member of staff upon arrival and provide proof of address, such as a driver's licence or utility bill, to swap your broken boxes and lids on-site.

If you're unable to attend a Household Waste Recycling Centre you can contact Waste, Highways and Environmental Services and ask to have them delivered.
