What Should I Do If I Forgot to Put My Bin Out?

AI Summary

If you forgot to put your bin out on collection day, you can report a missed collection, but you have to do it within two working days of your last collection day. Here's what you'll need to do:

  1. Wait until after 6 PM on the day of collection to report it online or by phone.
  2. Ensure you report it within 2 working days to be eligible for a return collection.

You can report a missed bin collection using the following link: Report a missed bin collection.

If it's been longer than that, unfortunately, you will need to wait until your next scheduled collection day.
