Request a Bigger Bin
Before applying for a larger bin, please ensure you are using all the recycling facilities available to your household. Please note that the standard size bin for general waste is now 180 litres (purple-lidded bin). Larger bins are 240-litres. Therefore, you should only apply for a larger bin if you have a purple-lidded 180-litre general waste bin.
Your entitlement to the extra capacity will be subject to the completion of a 5-week waste diary and will be reviewed on an annual basis.
You should only apply for a larger bin if you have a purple-lidded 180-litre refuse bin. If you meet the criteria, you will be issued a 240 litre bin. If you already have a 240-litre black bin, then we can provide you with waste management advice.
Please download the 5-week waste diary and complete our request a bigger bin online form. We may also ask for additional information to support your application.
If you need assistance to complete this form, please see our contact us for ways of getting in touch.
