Damaged or missing bins or recycling sacks

From Monday 7 April you will be able to put glass recycling in your blue bin along with all your other recyclables - you won't need to use your black caddy.

Find out more about these changes here.

Let us know if your wheelie bin or recycling sack is lost or broken.

Find out about:


Damaged wheelie bins

Tell us if your wheelie bin is damaged, such as:

  • the lid is missing, broken or a hinge pin has come out
  • the lip is damaged or a wheel has broken
  • the bin is split or has been damaged by fire

We will send someone out to repair it at your home.

If your bin can't be repaired on the spot the crew will leave you a replacement and take the broken one away. Damaged bins that can be repaired at the depot are put back into stock.

Report a broken bin here.


Damaged recycling sacks

If your hessian recycling sack is worn out, you can ask us for a replacement.

Our crew aim to deliver a new recycling sack to you within five working days.

Missing bins and recycling sacks

Sometimes your bin or recycling sack might go astray on collection day. 

They often end up at a neighbour's house and will make their way back to you within a day or two. 

If yours has gone missing and you've not been able to find it nearby, please let us know - but leave it at least two working days before getting in touch to allow time for it to turn up.


Report a problem online

Contact us to report a damaged or missing wheelie bin or recycling sack.

If you've already reported a problem to us you will need to wait five working days before reporting it again - this is to give the crew time to sort it out.

If the crew didn't leave you replacement black bags, paper sacks or clinical waste sacks please request new ones here.
