How do I order replacement bins and boxes?
Once payment has been confirmed your containers will be delivered within 15 working days.
Keep your bins and boxes safe
Once you have your bins and boxes, it is your responsibility to keep them safe and mark them clearly with your house name or number to prevent them from going missing or being stolen. This can be painted on your bins and boxes.
If your collection is from the rear alley you should ensure you have your house name or number on your gate.
