Additional bins
If you are asking for an extra green-lidded bin, please note that we only provide extra green-lidded bins for houses with six or more people living there. This can include child/children in nappies, or where a resident has a medical condition that causes the production of extra waste. If you qualify for an additional green-lidded bin you will be given a small (140 litre) bin. You will only be given an additional bin where we are confident that every reasonable effort is being made to recycle or compost.
If you are asking for an additional blue-lidded bin (recycling) we will provide these free of charge. We only provide brown-lidded bin (garden waste) bins to residents who have a garden waste permit.
Each request for an additional bin will be assessed individually and a visit may be carried out by a waste officer to confirm your application. Applications will only be accepted by those living in the property, i.e. property owners or tenants. In the case of HMOs (Houses of multiple occupancy) applications can be made by property owners, tenants or landlords.
