If your bin is damaged, you can request a repair at no cost from the council. If the bin cannot be repaired, a replacement will be arranged, which may incur a fee only for lost or stolen bins.
Here’s a quick overview of what to expect:
| Bin Type | Action | Charge |
|---|---|---|
| Damaged Rubbish Bin | Repair or replacement available | Free for repair; £30 for replacement if lost/stolen |
| Damaged Recycling Bin | Repair or replacement available | Free for repair; £30 for replacement if lost/stolen |
| Damaged Garden Waste Bin | Repair or replacement available | Free for repair; £30 for replacement if lost/stolen |
You can initiate the process to request a new bin or repair via the council’s website: apply for a new bin.
