Request an additional bin

An application for additional waste and recycling capacity must be made to the Council, giving details of the circumstances. Application forms can be obtained from the Council Website or by contacting 0330 056 1020.

Additional Capacity/Medical Bins
The Council will consider applications for additional waste and recycling capacity in the following circumstances:-

Residual Bin – A household of seven or more, permanently residing at the property, subject to review.

Recycling Bin – A household of five or more, permanently residing at the property, subject to review.

Medical Applications require the application to be signed by a Medical Professional (e.g. Practice nurse) stating the medical condition and type of additional waste generated. Successful applications for additional bin capacity concession for medical reasons will be loaned (for a two year period) a 2nd 240lt bin for residual wastes (due to the nature of the waste being generated).

A 2^nd recycling bin may be loaned if additional recyclable waste is generated. Waste Management Staff may conduct a visit to provide recycling advice.

Applications for large family concession will require proof of residence for each family member as evidence that they permanently reside at that address e.g. Child Benefit/Family Allowance, Electoral Registration, Driving Licence etc. If approved the household must purchase a larger Residual bin (minus the cost of the 240lt bin, which will be removed and replaced with a larger 360lt bin[1]) Therefore the current replacement cost for a larger 360lt bin is £20.00, larger recycling bins will be provided free of charge for use within the 2 year concessionary period.  If after the 2 year period the additional capacity is not required, normal capacity bins will be returned.

[1] Cost of 360lt bin = £47.00 – £27.00 (cost of returned 240lt bin) = £20.00 difference. If residents don’t surrender the 240lt bin, they will be charged full cost for the 360lt bin. ONLY the 360lt will be emptied.
