Yes, you can request an extra collection if your bin is too full, but there are specific criteria. If you have five or more residents in your household, you may order an extra general waste bin. Here's a summary of the requirements:
| Bin Type | Eligibility | Cost (if applicable) |
|---|---|---|
| Extra General Waste Bin | Available for households with 5+ residents | No extra fee specified |
| Extra Garden Waste Bin | Requires an active Garden waste plan | £39.40 one-off fee |
| Extra Recycling Bin | Available for larger households | No extra fee specified |
| Healthcare Waste Bin | Requires a letter from your GP | No extra fee specified |
For all extra bin requests, you can apply online. Check out the links to get started: order a new bin and order an extra bin. If you have bulky waste that doesn't fit in your bins, consider taking it to the Harrow recycling centre.
