Apply for a larger black bin

In order to qualify for a larger black (refuse) bin there must be at least 4 residents in your household and you must be recycling all you can.

Before requesting a larger black bin, please consider how much of this waste is recyclable as we would prefer to issue you with a blue mixed recycling bin or a purple lidded bin for paper and cardboard. All waste from black bins is sent for incineration and has a carbon impact which should be reduced where possible. If your existing black bin is the same size as your blue and purple-lidded bin, then you already have the larger sized black bin. The standard size black bin is 180 litres and is not as wide.

Please be aware that there is now a charge for supplying wheeled bins.
