Bin stickers

Please note, it may take up to six weeks for your request to be processed, your property to be added to a collection routes and your bin sticker to be delivered. If your sticker has not arrived within this timescale, request a replacement sticker.

We are aware that the stickers state that they expire in November 2020. These were printed before we extended the collection season. You do not need a separate sticker for collections between November 2020 and March 2021.

Important

To ensure we can empty your brown bin:

  • Use your brown bin for compostable garden waste only.
  • Do not overfill your bin. It's not safe for us to lift heavy bins.
  • Do not squash waste into your bin. Compacted material won’t fall out when the bin is tipped upside down by the collection vehicle.
  • Make sure the lid of your bin closes properly.
  • Don't put any additional garden waste next to your bin: we will not pick this up.
  • Ensure your bin is at the kerbside by 7am on your collection day.
  • The handle on the bin should face the road, and the sticker should be visible to the collection crew.
  • Look out for your neighbours and check they are able to put their bin out.
