The black-wheeled rubbish bin
Using your bin
All households with a frontage of any kind (grass, gravel and so on) have been given a black-wheeled rubbish bin. This bin must be used to store and present household waste (non-recyclable rubbish) for collection.
We will empty one standard WBC black bin per property every fortnight. We will not collect any rubbish left beside or on the bin, and the lid must to be closed.
Decorating your bin
You can decorate your black-wheeled bin. it’s fine to personalise or decorate your bin using paint, stickers, bin wraps or similar.
We also encourage you to write your house number or address on the bin we give you. You can buy number stickers from most budget and hardware stores.
Broken or missing black bin
Order a black bin that is damaged and cannot be used or is missing:
Once a bin has been requested we aim to deliver bins within 15 working days.
If your bin is broken, please leave the damaged bin at the edge of your property and we will replace it with the new bin.
