Help with putting your bins out

If you can't move your bins, bags and boxes to the boundary of your property you can request a free assisted collection.
 

When you can apply

You can request an assisted collection if:

• you find it difficult to move your bins, bags or boxes to the boundary of your property
• there is no one else in the household who could help

You will need to make sure that your waste or recycling is available for us by 7am on collection days. We will collect and empty your bins, bags and boxes, then return them to where you left them.

⚠ We cannot collect from inside your property, shed or garage.
 

Eligibility

You will need to support your request with the reason why you need an assisted collection. The reason could be because:

• there is no able bodied person living at your address
• you are reliant on a carer, who does not live at your address
• you have a permanent disability

You cannot request an assisted collection if:

• there is some able such as a caretaker or warden
• you just find it inconvenient because you have a long private driveway or there a small number of steps
