Ordering a new bin or bags

When ordering a replacement wheelie bin due to a bin being damaged beyond repair, or up/down sizing, the old wheelie bin must be returned when we deliver the new bin. If the old bin is not available when delivering the new one, there will be a further charge of £10 to be paid before the new bin can be delivered. There will be no charge if the bin is missing because our collection crew damaged it and were unable to return it to the kerbside.
