What to look out for

  • Be clear which waste stream the bin is for; councils use different bin types and colours.
  • Garden waste collections are often a paid subscription, and some councils charge for extra or replacement bins.
  • Has your bin been stolen or damaged? Say so in the type field, as replacements are often provided free in those cases.
  • Ask for a reference number so you can chase the delivery.

How soon will it be delivered?
That varies by council, but often within a few weeks. This letter asks for a delivery date.
