Frequently asked questions

Can I get a larger bin?

Some councils offer larger or additional bins for eligible households, such as large families or medical needs. There's usually a fee. Contact your council's waste services team directly.

Why was my bin not collected?

Common reasons include: the bin lid wasn't fully closed, the bin wasn't at the kerb before the truck passed, there was contamination in the recycling bin, or the bin was blocking the truck's mechanical arm. Your council's website usually has a missed collection form.

Should I rinse containers before recycling?

A quick rinse is enough. Containers do not need to be spotless, just empty and free of large food residue. A few seconds under the tap, or a swish with leftover dishwater, keeps the load clean without wasting water.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Two rules, both matter. There is a correct bin. There is a correct night. These are two different things and both matter.
  • The lid has to close. An overflowing bin with the lid propped open often gets skipped, or spills down the street. If it won't shut, it won't go.
  • The green bin loves your garden. The green bin isn't a mulching service, but it's as close as most households get. Grass clippings, leaves, small branches: all welcome.
