Waste collection policy

The Borough Council does at times have stock of smaller 120L or 140L wheeled bins .  In some cases, these may be more suitable for residents who have limited storage or produce limited amounts of waste. Where a resident requests a smaller bin, this will incur a charge for the provision of bins and removing the existing bins. Residents using a smaller bin will receive the standard service albeit with less capacity. Residents should ensure that they can manage their waste with reduced capacity as the normal rules around sidewaste still apply.

In the event a resident wishes to swap back to standard size wheeled bin this would again be chargeable. Where a person moves into a property the Council is not responsible for what size bins are in situ at that property. Should smaller bins be present, and the new resident wishes to swap these for standard bins then normal charges will still apply.
