Report a repair to a bin

If a bin is damaged because of normal wear and tear, we can repair it. There is no charge if repairs can be done to the lids, wheels, axle or lugs – the pins that hold the lid in place.

If a bin is beyond repair, you may be charged for a replacement bin.

Reduce your bin size

If you want to reduce your bin size capacity you can exchange your 180-litre bin for a 140-litre bin for free. Use the apply for a new or replacement bin form below.
