Re: Request for a wheelie bin

Dear Sir or Madam,

I ask you to process this request and to let me know when the bin will be delivered and whether any charge applies.

Yours faithfully,

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.

FAQ

Is there a charge for a bin?
A first bin is usually free, but many councils charge for additional bins and for garden waste collections. This letter asks about any charge explicitly.
How soon will it be delivered?
That varies by council, but often within a few weeks. This letter asks for a delivery date.
