What should I do if I have too much waste to fit in my bin?
What should I do if I have too much waste to fit in my bin?
A standard 180L black bin is usually big enough to take most household general waste that can’t be recycled.
Recycle as much as possible
Please recycle as much of your waste as you can. Consider the green recycling bags, food waste bins, chargeable garden waste scheme and bring banks throughout the borough. Our goal is to reduce the amount of general waste collected so please do all you can to reduce the amount you produce.
Help with extra waste
If you regularly have more waste than can fit in your black bin, extra waste may be approved depending on your circumstances. However we may visit your property to check if you could recycle more. We usually process applications within 4 weeks.
If additional capacity is approved, you will be given a solution to best fit your needs.
